@@michaelsnater2345 Literally the story of what happen to Carmelita Torres after she was captured was unknown. It was all erased or never was even traced. Its horrible.
I’m a Mexican American from south Texas and my great grandparents and grandparents were migrant workers from Mexico and my family is riddled with cancer. I can’t help but wonder if this is why.
Possibly but one has to ask if this story is even true first or you could ask your family about the kerosene baths..I read up on the topic. Typhus was rampant in a number of Mexican cities where the border crossers lived. The Typhus was transmitted by lice and roaches to human beings. At that time there was no treatment to control Typhus so kerosene was used...Harsh? Yes, did border crosser get in? Yes..today is much different. Biden literally beckoned thousands of Mexican, central and southern Americans to storm the border. In that crowd are Voodoo practicing Haitians and Iranians and even Chinese people all of which could very well have a hugely negative effect on you and I. Many border crossers have COVID and other diseases that remain untreated...what does Biden do, he don't give them the COVID vaccine but under the cover of night he flies them to many cites across the country so you and I can rub elbows with them, touch the same door handles as them and even receive a good cough in the face...what's Biden want to do next? He wants to get every red blooded American who refuses to get the harmful and useless COVID vaccine shot directly into their bodies and put them away in concentration camps!
As a black American I sympathize with my Mexican brothers and sisters. This was beyond hateful, hurtful, and wrong. You all are beautiful, cultured, and high vibrational people. We cannot let something like this ever happen again.
@God first Honestly I’ve seen African Americans being racist towards Hispanics. But hey all ethnic groups have that small percentage that ruins it for us. But God loves us all, and he would love to be our father, If we repent. If we don’t repent we are simply creation. I don’t want to be creation, I want to be his son.
You could look at any country under a microscope and find horrors. The same could probably be said about your specific past. Nobody knows what they don't know.

Barbara must have watched a different video... you miss the part about Tom Lea the mayor of El Paso who believed in racial purity and eugenics and saw the border as a good place to enforce racial profiling and subject those crossing who were second-class citizens (essentially: non-white) to 'de-lousing'? I mean, the motivations were literally half of the video runtime.... I guess some people only see and hear what they want.
DDT was quite safe and other chemicals were not understood. My European immigrant family were checked. Vox is racist ungrateful immigrants inciting hatred against their kind hosts. If we're so bad why did they leave their own countrymen.

I live in El Paso and through 12 years of school I've never heard of this. I hear of the Bracero program but never learned anything from it. Now the population in El Paso is majorly Mexican American, which I think makes it more important that we learn from our past. History repeats itself if we don't learn from it
One thing I'm still wondering about is how a kerosine bath can be set on fire by a match. Kerosine has to have a temperature of at least 45°C for it in order to ignite by any open flame. Just that one piece of the story is a bit strange to me. (While it would still remain unbelievably inhumane and terrible, if it really did happen.
Nah instead they force students to take an entire year dedicated to Texas colonization history - which is so one sided that it is laughable now that I look back at it.
Meanwhile our history books are like: We had slaves. BUT THAT WAS A BAZILLION YEARS AGO!!! Anyways, we defeated the rotten British and now we are a great country! Like bruhhhhhh
Sorry but that isn’t true. The textbooks do an excellent job at showing things like this, the college board does a really good job at this stuff as well. Just because you didn’t read the one section on the acts like the Chinese exclusion act, or you forgot about the whole section on the interment camps, doesn’t mean the textbooks didn’t talk about them. It’s rare that something like this isn’t talked about, even if it is mentioned it’s there, it’s a matter of you remembering.

Despicable. This makes me very angry. My grandfather, my dad, my grandma and my aunts and uncles came here through the Bracero Program. My dad never talks about what he went through but my dad just tells us we don't know how good we have it. He is right.
Oh quit being angry . but become a better person . And now Hispanics need permission to cross back into Texas , New Mexico , Arizona , California , Nevada and many other states but they are reclaiming their land and God will allow it .
Most of American History is one lie after another. We believe everything we are told just because it is written in a book doesn't make it true. The one that is in power can push his narrative all day, it is just us that have to stop believing their lies.
Agreed, we see whats happening in Europe right now because of them opening the borders. If we dont learn from that and secure our borders, the US will suffer the same fate.
@@josiahd2791 The labor market in European countries who have taken in a significant amount of immigrants right now has actually been booming relative to 'closed border' countries.

its not being a troll to say humanity all over the world has a dark history. In fact historically the US as a younger nation has a less dark history than most in the East especially in how quickly it evolved and improved. More importantly look at where the genocides take place today in 2019 but no one wants to talk about that.
@@XXMETAL4LIF3XX So because other histories exist then we should what? Stop talking about American history? This wasn't a video addressing histories of other countries. This was a video addressing the dark history of America. There are plenty of platforms to discuss histories of other countries. Not here though. And to try to change the topic like that is trollish and just plain whataboutism.
That reply doesn’t have to be whataboutism though. It can explain a lot without necessarily being meant as a justification for the US’ history. Explanation isn’t justification and understanding isn’t forgiveness. If we want to move forward we need to remember this.
I am beyond furious at the fact that we never once were taught about this in school. The closest we ever got was in my Spanish class where we had a vague and short lesson about braceros and that’s about it!
Dont be furious. Think about it. How much time in school is given to history? How many atrocities have been done and to how many races and ethnicities? Be wise. Read and search for urself instead of waiting for it to be given to u. Being furious will cause wrath
@@ClassicHawk115 rage is NEVER good. It leads to wrath and unforgiveness. Unforgiveness hurts u-not the person who hurt u. Like i said before, he can use his anger to learn about History so history wont be repeated.he can figure out how he and his family can not be victims of such atrocities

Tejanos and Teixans fought side by side in the Texas war of independence. There were nearly a dozen other revolutions against Santa Ana around the same time, and it was thought are the time that at the very least the republic of the Rio grande and republic of Texas would stand between the United States and the government headquartered in Ciudad de México.
As a Mexican this is heartbreaking to learn about. Especially because my grandpa might’ve been in that program to provide for his family. I am on the verge of tears just thinking about what my people go through

Yes I agree that a story about her would be great, but no need in dragging down the Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins did a great job writing those books and that's why they sold millions of copies.

I am from El Paso TX, and more specifically from the area of Socorro or the “lower valley” as it’s known. 90%of the people living here are Mexican-American and like someone else already mentioned here, it is not even brought up on any books our schools have/had. I was very shocked about this, and it brought me to tears. I don’t remember any teachers telling us about it, only about the bracero program that has now turned into something else. VOX by the way you should investigate how all of these farmers stay outside the building called “centro de los trabajadores agrícolas fronterizos”. They sleep on cardboards out there and people still call them braceros because they come to work in agriculture. However, the department doesn’t even try to shelter them... even when they short change them with what they pay them. As always, great reporting love ❤️ your videos even if they make me tear up a bit.
Vox didn't tell us that "Kerosene" not "gasoline" was the standard treatment for lice in those days, from NY to Fl, people were treated for lice with DDT.
@@emurysorrow6632 Mexicans are Israelites, the chosen people of God. They are one of the lost tribes of Israel. They are suffering the curses of Deuteronomy 28:15-68 because they broke the laws of God.

@@omarisifontes565 immigrants offer low education, high intensity workforce for a cheaper price, in theory this would allow the state to educate its own citizen so they can take the higher income, higher educated jobs and make the country evolve. sadly not many countries use this system and its going to slow down technological progression soon because of the lack of widespread education. because remember to find the next albert einstein or steven hawking we need widespread education to give genius but unfortunate children a chance to show themselves
Seeing all this just reminds me of an old saying my mother used to tell me "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" seems alittle fitting for this whole situation.
The other side of the problem.. one can learn multiple lessons from history. One of the reasons we see so much repeating isn't that people didn't learn, it is because they DID learn and see the benefits people like them reaped.
Then please look into this for yourself and not just what Vox tells you. Like with all their videos their is more to the story then what they are presenting.
Comparing the borders today to the borders back then is directly disrespecting the people who went through those atrocities. Shame on you. The borders today are nothing like the horrible events that used to take place. Smh
9:18 and it's a wonder they make us study the holocaust in such depth in school. They never point a finger at America in it at all. I remember learning it in 7th & 8th grade for months. SO in depth, all of us were mentally exhausted and in tears a lot of days.
They dont want us to know. We are the most hated group in america. We talk about what we did to blacks, natives, and asians but never what we did and still are doing to Mexican-Americans simply because America doesnt care.
My grandfather was in the Bracero Program. While his cousin decided to move to Sacramento permanently, he decided that there was no way he was staying in a country that treated him like a dog. I can only imagine the humiliation and dehumanization be went through. He did it to provide for my mother and her siblings.
Idk how on earth most Americans came to believe that they should be looked at as any sort of moral authority to anywhere else because dang I'm just disgusted tbh.
Because anything can go on youtube and not be fact-checked for accuracy. Only those views and 'facts' that support the 'tuber need be presented and in a way that only tells the story they want to. For example, the notion that nobody was FORCED to constantly cross and recross the border was mentioned. And what measures were/are taken by the Mexican Govt towards others crossing into Mexico? I'm sure they didn't just stroll right in.
@Tutu Flave it shocking how not talked about this event was. Not many people know about it so it is very upsetting that it is kind of left forgotten among the American people.
13:30 This guy literally said they’re bringing in smallpox rofl. Smallpox was eradicated from the entire world in 1980. Natural smallpox doesn’t even exist anymore smh.
I would encourage you to read the wiki article for the bath riots. It paints a bit of a different picture of the bath riots than this video does. The video seems to have the intention of making out US to be the sole historical source of hate and racism.
That's fair. I would definitely make sure to stay as far away from the US as possible. They are evil and if you are a part of it you are to. Don't support evil
Omg all the news cuts of the reporters saying "they're coming in with smallpox ewww" like y'all's ancestors were the ones to bring that to the americas soooooo
kind of funny talking about deceases, especially now, when we see thousands people dead from Coronavirus. People should be checked to not spread the decease!
@Crawford Klinner through global vaccinations over multiple decades, small pox no longer had any susceptible human hosts to infect, and it died off completely. It's one of the greatest triumphs in scientific history.
This should be shown in grade school history classes across the United States. It's amazing how this and these type(s) of historical records are overlooked in history classes. Congress needs to see this.
Why are you surprised? Most non-white American history was either deliberately altered or destroyed.. In fact, this has been going on for centuries all over the world mainly in the Americas and Africa. Seems like people are only now waking up to these facts.
@@Drhumbolt you can start by not taking every vox video at face value. Just look at there border series Haiti where they accused Dominicans as being racist towards Haitians.
blame the people who decided to not talk about it in schools and have future generations not hear about it. one day 9/11 will be one of those events that won't be talked much about and the kids are gonna have the same reactions.
To be fair, that's because the US is pretty high with a wide variety of cultures and races. Washington is about as close culturally and physically to Texas as the UK is to Serbia. Besides, most of this is a concern to the mexican side of the border since it negatively impacted them and not the US. If mexicans were spraying Americans with kerosene then itd likely be in more history books
Matthew Nelson , or what the Native people still have to deal with. The Hopi tribe along with many others were forced off their land and put away. Out of sight out of mind. It’s heartbreaking.
Because there’s been a massive influx of economic migrants and we certainly need to know who they are, are they affiliated with any gangs, are they sick, or are they victims of human trafficking.

I am thankful that because of my parents hard work many opportunities have been offered to us by this country, but it is truly disgusting how the US is built off racism, torture, and prejudice. The underlying tones of extreme racism that took place all throughout history still linger to this day. In different periods of time, different minorities have experienced various forms of injustice, and it’s truly sad.
health requirements are not injustice! Now new immigrants also are checked for infectious deceases and can become immigrants only if they are healthy and this is only right approach. Look at what happening with Corona, if all people entering into the county were checked for covid this epidemic would have never happened.
Every nation is founded on racism, torture and prejudice, it's just that the Americans are more open about it.

Did you take American history in college? I didn't learn about this until then. It was a post-WW1 class. So often American history classes end around WW1 and just kind of zoom through presidents and a few major events so it's good to take a more in-depth college course. There's some great books on the subject too, if you don't have the money for college. Which I don't these days!
Why aren't they teaching this at our schools? It makes you wonder about what else they've covered and hid from us. This is horrifying. As a Mexican-American, I feel lied to, knowing that there of millions of people like me who have never been told on what they did to us in the past.

Sappy but they didn’t do it to be malicious. This video is disingenuous .
Barbara must have watched a different video... you miss the part about Tom Lea the mayor of El Paso who believed in racial purity and eugenics and saw the border as a good place to enforce racial profiling and subject those crossing who were second-class citizens (essentially: non-white) to 'de-lousing'?
I mean, the motivations were literally half of the video runtime.... I guess some people only see and hear what they want.
DDT was quite safe and other chemicals were not understood. My European immigrant family were checked. Vox is racist ungrateful immigrants inciting hatred against their kind hosts. If we're so bad why did they leave their own countrymen.
The Aztec and “Mexican” natives have been far more hygienic historically than the “Europeans”. Search it up. :-)
True, after the classical era it all went poop with hygiene in Europe 😅 literally... On the streets and it improved nit that long ago, similarly to the us times.

I live in El Paso and through 12 years of school I've never heard of this. I hear of the Bracero program but never learned anything from it. Now the population in El Paso is majorly Mexican American, which I think makes it more important that we learn from our past. History repeats itself if we don't learn from it

Sorry but that isn’t true. The textbooks do an excellent job at showing things like this, the college board does a really good job at this stuff as well. Just because you didn’t read the one section on the acts like the Chinese exclusion act, or you forgot about the whole section on the interment camps, doesn’t mean the textbooks didn’t talk about them.

@@djdjdjshhsuss3941 Ehhh, the US has slowly, but surely taken steps to "sanitize" the overwhelming majority of the unsavory/negative historical acts/behaviors of those who lived and ruled during those times to the point where it's not even really history anymore, but a reimagining of it.
Because history books get written by the wrong people. So we need authors who are more objective, which often doesn’t happen with school textbooks.
Cameron J where tf were you taught man and what are ‘the steps they’re taking’ to ‘sanitize’ our history.... huh?
@Cameron J I provide evidence for my argument now provide yours
honestly the only reason i got to vox is the smooth editing and their well searched sources and insights. also amazing editing! i wish i could learn there
Angelita lee yeah and they’re pretty good at staying neutral, I mean you can tell where they lean but I mean they’re good at being neutral while reporting
@@DT-vh5yw why is a false sense if neutrality important? They report things which they believe the evidence shows. That's what matters not feelings of neutrality to appease someone
Its really neutral of them to not mention that the camps on the boarder today where made by Obama.
Bob Snieger first of all there’s never a false sense of neutrality when it comes to reporting... it’s called not sharing your opinion so people can take their own point of view
Even with good sources, they cherry pick information without giving all the details.
This is so sad I’m crying as I’m watching this. Sad to know we will never learn about this in us schools.
Agree this is why it's up to us to teach our children the truth
if the teachers are highly informed, then maybe
My jaw dropped listening to this and I watch every type of craziness on UA-cam. This is so dark.
it's so good that channels like this actually tells about the darker parts of different countries history
“Rosa Parks of the border” but she came before Rosa Parks, shouldn’t it be the other way around.
Vicente Bermudez Nah they both in a different boat and stood up for something they should both have a name that’s meaningful
Vicente Bermudez have you not seen Brandon roger video about how Rosa parks could time travel when he was making a margarita
Vicente Bermudez He was giving an example not saying she took it as inspiration he was just trying to give a more clear visual
Rosa Parks is more well known
Stop dividing with race
I really like the Borders series. The topics sometimes make me angry, like this one, but it's important to know these things so maybe we can NOT keep repeating the same mistakes. I wish we knew more about Carmelita Torres.
Beth they are repeating themselves. remember you voted for trump . he has desensitized all americans with his insults. you voted him in
THIS IS NOT VOX BOARDERS!!!! THIS IS VOX "MISSING" CHAPTER
@@PHlophe Do not put ALL Americans in the same category!! I certainly did NOT vote for Trump(alot of Americans didn't)!! And the Electoral College voted him in! Please have your facts straight before you put everyone in the same group! Not everyone likes what Trump is doing!
@@PHlophe Do your research. Go watch Amazing Polly, then you will start to understand human trafficking, Venezuela, and do much more. The corruption from the Bush administration, Clinton, and Obama left a serious mess to be cleaned up. We almost lost our Constitution. Pay attention, your obviously being selective, instead of looking at the whole picture. What is going on now is DIFFERENT than during the time this video speaks about. Get educated. Do your research.
@@ritakus9871youre the only selective person I see here.
As a member of the Navajo tribe, I appreciate the videos you’re creating. 👍🏽
What's a navajo is that one of them Mexicans? They the brown or black ones?
@@yeetjones927 the real americans
@@yeetjones927 it’s the native Americans that lived around the Arizona region I thinj
@@mango9602 who cares? They had their time it's America's time to shine now baby
@@yeetjones927 America really wasn’t shining too bright the last 4 years, hopefully it gets better I guess. And I was just explaining to you what the Navajo was, you asked so I answered
Dios mio. I bet my grandpa had to go through this but he never said anything.
@janis vogel I do not put my full name. It is way too long. Jones is my father's last name. He is African American.
Our ancestors suffered many things in silence.
@Santiago Durán maybe? He was 97 when he passed. Or was it 98.
@@epicbro748 I'm very glad your family is doing well.
Both of my grandpas suffered at the hands of racists acts in America. Im so sad and angry
My mother, in1966, was sprayed with insecticide when crossing the border legally. She was 8 yrs old.
Just another chapter in history that our government tries to cover up..
And with the incoming president more of history will be hidden it important to buy or store as much of history as possible before they take it all away from us.
I remember my grandmother, talking about these baths. She was a housekeeper in El Paso, in the 50’s.
A nation built on hate
@Jim Elliott you sound white
@Jim Elliott because you try to act like America is great.
@Jim Elliott don't worry I'm not American and I've never been there.
@Jim Elliott What?
@Crawford Klinner I don't need to experience war to know it's horrible, I dont need to go to America to see its shortcomings, yes you have freedom but so do most developed countries. And there is nothing you can do or say to erase the horrible American history your county is built on, the original comment was right.
Why aren't we being taught this in school????
Because they want to brainwash us from a young age.
Because they're making America great again.
Anerican exceptionalism
Than you hear America is the leader of the free world. I still wonder whether or not that is meant to be a sarcastic joke.
Iit is ...it is not funny !!
K
Yeah .. I've always wanted to know how they are the leaders of the free world too??
Also votes don’t count
Move and find out.
it’s frustrating how we have to search to learn about such important matters when we have schools that teach us the same thing each year.
I remember my Dad telling us when he came into the US through the Bracero Progrham n 1946 he talked about the WHITE POWEDER they put on them, this made me sick when he told us about it.
What do you mean I dont care!
@Lochness Monsta ok those are inmates doesnt make it any better these are people going in and out the border weekly their not inmates
Thats actually pretty normal .But what I KNOW is it was just a powder they put on your head for lice but I dont how far they took it back then.
Jeez... and to think... all he had to do is not come here (or turn around and go home) and he never would have had to endure that.
OMG WHITE POWDER SO SCARY OMG!!!! It’s arm and hammer powder. It’s to clean them and get rid of lice. Educate yourselves.
"If you want to know the truth, you must search for it yourself, for everyone else will only tell their side of the story"
I remember bringing this up in history class , everyone thought I was nuts till I told them fo some research about it it was like 2017
Me too..2002 my teacher history gave me ....F.. .
I AM FLABBERGASTED BY THIS. AND OUTRAGED.
How do people do this to other people. WE ARE PEOPLE, TOO!!
This is not ok, history is repeating it self and we aren’t doing anything about it because most of us didn’t even know this actually happened before. Awareness is key
Awareness is subjective.
This wasn’t taught in my Texas history class
Go to mexico and take a mexican history class then
Brendon Backus why when you can stay in America and learn this very important part of American history?
Grieftick because I had to take American history to
Don’t blame you, didn’t TX barely make their schools teach that slavery was a key/main issue for the civil war?
Did you take American history in college? I didn't learn about this until then. It was a post-WW1 class. So often American history classes end around WW1 and just kind of zoom through presidents and a few major events so it's good to take a more in-depth college course. There's some great books on the subject too, if you don't have the money for college. Which I don't these days!
They don't know what happened to her after being arrested 💔 that's the main reason ppl were afraid to stand up from lack of support 😥
I had to stop the video at that point to have a moment's silence.
They most likely killed her.
Thank you for sharing these stories.
File this under: More things I cannot *believe* I didn't learn in school....
Yup
Americans learning about America: Superman.
Foreigners learning about America: Homelander.
Vox is what the History channel wishes it could be, thanks for bringing out the truth.
The history Channel doesn't even tell history anymore. The have people selling and buying antiques.
Wow ...years of Texas history is mandatory to get a high school diploma and this is never mentioned
Why aren't they teaching this at our schools? It makes you wonder about what else they've covered and hid from us. This is horrifying. As a Mexican-American, I feel lied to, knowing that there of millions of people like me who have never been told on what they did to us in the past.
And there is a ton more that you’re not taught. Think of the Japanese camps here back during the war. Horrible nor the Cubans. Watch the beginning of the movie Scarface w Al Pacino.
"They're coming in with smallpox"
Somebody tell the WHO apparently smallpox came back from the grave.
@janis vogel
Never before has anyone been so wrong in so few words.

U.S. has a darker history than I thought
Asha Jackson yes every country does
@@katiev9494 But not every country tries to hide it
I. US doesn’t considering i hear of plenty of US atrocities back in class 😂and yes the vast majority do try and hide it very naive to think countries are mostly transparent
@@katiev9494 true if it wasn't for this video I wouldn't have any clue about it ......shocking most things are never talked about concerning u.s. history
Asha Jackson I agree. I only recently heard about “human barbecues” where slaves were burnt alive and cut into pieces. Then the pieces sold as souvenirs.
America has such a dark and disturbing past.
Not America, white people.
@Tee X americas government
And present.
Tee X okay but not America as a country tho when you think about it. Natives were people in the village doing alright but they became second class citizens over night.
"past" lol
We're also native Americans and USA doesn't admit it.
100% we are they want us to continue to uphold and believe that we are all mixed and not indigenous. It’s all for there own benefit of course because can you imagine what would happen?
Is Canelo Alvarez and Willam Levy indigenous?
You have no argument @@xavierprz

Tozje Soir there are more countries with stains in their history, America is the easiest to dog on because we still have openly racist people parading the streets. Belgium for example has a horrible history with how they treated people in the Congo and other African countries. And no one talks about Belgium anymore

ONLY showing the US dark side when every country has one thats just as bad and worse throughout history
@@mr.devil9577 naah they say bad stuff abot other countries as well
@@mr.devil9577 they do show how fked up india is and as Indian I'm glad they do
The american education system is strongly Influenced by the local board of education. It's your local board who determines what is taught.
Aron Ra (sp?) Explains this in a YT vid as he tried to convince a texas board of education to stop teaching creationism in a biology class. I imagine same as this.
No country shows its recent flaws
This makes me sad that my people went through this and we don’t learn about it in general American history.
American History downplays the rest of the world..........
our American schools do not teach American-history
It makes me sad that any human beings went through this.we cannot afford to let them divide us anymore. History is a important resource, it's shameful we have a incoming president who wants to hide parts of our history because it makes people uncomfortable. Well if it makes them uncomfortable maybe it will make sure that people won't do it again.
Who were those poor men that were publically executed?:( The world should know their names aswell
