Mexico Has Its Own Southern Border Crackdown-But It Isn't Working (HBO)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2018
- Ever since a caravan of Central American migrants started heading north from Southern Mexico in early April, President Trump has used the occasion to accuse the Mexican government of doing nothing to prevent migrants from reaching the United States.
But that isn’t true. In the summer of 2014, when record numbers of Central American children and families were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border, the Obama administration pressured Mexico to stop the migrant flow closer to the source: At its own southern border with Guatemala.
Mexico readily complied, deploying unprecedented numbers of immigration agents, police, and military to shut down migrant routes, primarily in the southernmost state of Chiapas. By some measures, the so-called Southern Border Program was successful: In its first two years, immigration arrests in Mexico shot up by 85 percent, according to an analysis by the Washington Office on Latin America.
But four years later, it’s clear that the Southern Border Program has created more problems than it’s solved.
The migrant crisis is far from over, and will continue as long as intense violence, poverty, and political instability push Central Americans to flee their home countries. Instead, the crackdown has pushed migrants onto more remote and dangerous routes, where they’re vulnerable to predatory criminals who rob them - or much worse.
Those migrants who are apprehended often wind up stuck for months in southern Mexico while they await for their cases to be processed. Many apply for asylum in Mexico, but even they, in many cases, want papers only so they can continue their journeys north undisturbed.

VICE News , thank you for showing the world that we are not all criminal we are hard working people
Thank you for showing that not all Mexican cops are bad, some are good like that cop who helps immigrants and buys them tacos.
Most of them. Not all.
ehMontiiro , we'll no shit dip wad Every Race has its good and bad
It is very apparent that Americans simply do not want these people in their country. They are a huge financial burden upon American taxpayers. "Its not what your country can do for you its what you can do for your country". They have had enough time to exploit our system. Enough is enough.
Mexico is a beautiful country, but sadly crime and politics are destroying it :(
let communism rule
Bryan's Vlogs mexico needs communism
Martial law
Ikr I wish I could help my people and yes I'm Mexican
Yeah it's really sad it's like would you rather earn less than 2 dollars a day and let your family starve or join a gang to help your family live.
that dude's making nearly $200 a day (tax free) just shuttling people across the river on his raft? that's not a bad gig.
NewGoldStandard yeah but no health insurance
well..., I bet you $1000.00 USD x week down there goes a long way. Now lets add 5 weeks, that is almost or sometimes even over $5000.00 per month. You can get a lot of "Health Insurance" with that kind of money don't you think?
SoZ1646 hes making well over 8x more than the average salary in Mexico. Maybe more.
Maybe he has to pay cartels to let him cross ppl
SoZ1646 too bad there is only 4 weeks in a month tho..
That machete wielding guy seems legit let him in.
Team Neudimensions lol
There’s so much crime and danger in guatemala and el salvador like that guy for no reason they have to escape from their country or it’s death to want to come to mexico which isn’t even a safer place just shows how desperate ppl are
For them, Machetes are just tools.
broke my heart
Says Mexico is cracking down then shows people crossing for a dollar on a raft ....
Ok. Yes they are cracking down hard core.
Gcal1956 stfu pos he just trying to live better life why dont u come to this places and live for one day than you would understand
Hey it used to cost 50 cents.
They were crossing to Guatemala for that price not America idiot
Gcal1956 Not all of them are migrants. And the rafter is not immigrantion. He's there to make a living... Or are you going to complain about that too?
Clearly the title says that it isn’t working
3:30 I hope that man finds all the peace and happiness he deserves travel safe bro 💯
Man that guy on the rails made me cry a bit.not even having faith that the government is protecting them,but corrupting them.
Maybe you did not pay atention, but the police men gave him money to buy something to eat, does ice do the same?
Mexico cracking down on southern border. Proceeds to show official letting immigrant cross border and gives him money for a taco.
Luigi Mario (aims gun) give me your machete, "no", ok buy a taco.
So.....you'd rather they put him down like a dog?
Nevermind, don't answer that.
it is called compassion and empathy..
Not my video !!
They know he'll eventually get caught, if so might as well help him... if he does make it , well good luck dealing with legal system
How fast you think that guy with the machete woulda been shot if that were here in the United States? He breaks down immediately when shown the smallest piece of human decency and kindness. Poor guy. I hope he found his way to somewhere safe.
right when he refused to give the machete he wouldve been shot at least 20 times
MrKoopa26 shut up he is human just like you and I. Talking like that means your an animal to since you don't have the intelligence to comprehend he is human.
u know exactly what i mean and technically we're both humans and animals u idiot lol
MrKoopa26 look back at your comment you only mention animal scumbag, look i see its wrong how they come her illegally but they are not beneath us we are all equal nothing less nothing greater that is what god believed and it is what i believe if your against that you should still know we are equal.
MrKoopa26 the worth of a soul is great is the sight of God. That man is worth the same like you and anyone else.
Seeing the fear, the resignation in that poor man stance, him getting ready to flee if needed, the despair he has... It shocks you how hurtful it can be to see a grown man cry.
Antoine are you certain it was not an act? I've met my fair share of adults who use the sympathy of others to manipulate them.
Jonathan Darnel that man had nothing but a bag and a machete, now if he was riding a motorcycle perhaps but that’s not the case here.
Himself Lee i understand, i was just pointing out that he most likely wasn’t putting on an act and i don’t believe we should have open borders, we can’t just let in anyone who comes crying because we don’t know what they’re up to.
That dude with the Machete is very lucky that that encounter didn't take place in the USA. Law enforcement here would have mowed him down, no questions asked.
The thing is that illegal immigrants are killed in Mexico and no one does anything about it. That’s why he has that machete he already knows how it works. Mexico’s government doesn’t complain because they kill immigrants 😂
I don't doubt what you're saying, but could you imagine what would happen if someone walked up on American law enforcement like that? I am certain the the law in this country would have opened fire immediately, regardless of cameras or anything else.
Philthy Phil American police are cowboys, I do not mean in a good way.
theres so many cases documented and filmed contrary to that statement I have no clue why'd you even argue it, but hey lets generalize a country's police with 5.4 million more sq kilometers than all of the EU into one blanket statement
Philthy Phil The cops are worst over there. I’m almost positive the reason they didn’t kill the man was because they were on film.
What pisses me off is that even if she gets asylum in Mexico she will try to jump the border to the United States. She already got asylum, why do we have to use our resources to accommodate her when she's already safe?
cant blame her
Free shit.
Patrick Frawley i hope most of them make it in the mainland US. Im from asia by the way
Alessandro Lombardi Easily ? Decent life? Haha good one. Try Extremely Difficult and barely survive if even that
Cheterz Rivera why do you want them standing on the u.s. borders
Seeing the migrant man with nothing but the clothes on his back and a machete break down in tears when the cops said they were going to let him go really makes you think about immigration. I’ve worked with Mexicans and South Americans and they work their asses off when they get here wether they are legal or not, Latino Americans also have amazing family values and one guy would bring his wife and kids with him to watch (tree trimming) and she even grilled us a really amazing lunch one time. Same thing when I went to Panama, the people were so nice and very honest.
IMxYOURxDADDY so you assume all are bad people
nah but to assume theyre all good hardworking brown people is wrong
MrKoopa26 everyone needs to remember that a group cant be judged based on the acts of individuals. Thsts what keeps us set back as a species. They are humans too, people, that have different personalities and intentions, just as cauasians do.
you know what ya best of luck to those honest hard working folks but they really do need to respect our laws n stay in their country.
jacob carolan doesnt matter, stay in your own fucking country! Come here the right way or dont come at all.
Make Mexico Great Again 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 🐸👌
Hopefully soon with a new government in office. But im not holding my breath.
Mr Raccoon VIVA MEXICO lets hope their new president can be friends with Donald Trump and have a powerful bond
You mean make the Mexican government great again. The country meaning the land has always been amazing.
Mr Raccoon mmga
😂😂😂 mejico was never great. It's always been a shithole.
The old ranching couple are really Good Samaritans. Wishing them the best and I am glad to see some people showing humanity.
@kevin couture Dummy, they DO hear it and so far, NO 100s or 1000s!
when the person with the machete rubs his eyes before explaining... i felt that.
3:30 i feel bad for him honestly,i pitty him..hope he find a true home :(
yea man. shit's tough out there.
Pray he doesn't slaughter the inhabitants of that home with his machete.
Just pity and hope from you means nothing to him.
Bear Leu yeah man,ill pray for him and i'll pray for people like you.
He is a actor lol you really think a illegal would walk right up to cops especially Mexican cops
I was amazed at how little that guy at 2:30 had to lose. He was willing to die instead of giving it up, and I loved the human way the police officer calmed him down and talked to him in a human way. I felt really sorry for that guy, and he looked like he had been through hell during his journey. It moved me in more ways than I can describe.
I lowkey wanted to cry when i saw that man w the machete
So why doesn't Mexico worry about their Northen border...🤔 I'm sure its because they just have the attitude of "Let the U.S. deal with it."
US doesn't want MX in charge of the border think about what your suggesting
We do, since you stole our land in 1848
Mexico does a lot, it does what it can. The US is lucky to have Mexico as a border shield or maybe you want to be next to central America and Venezuela, think about it.
@@eduardobaz6413 "stole land" lol they beat your asses..deal with it you lost a war and lost land because you are a failed state since your creation.
They were waiting for the 20B payout. And still the border is overrun. The US is easy prey for bribes. This is why our country is in so much debt.
Spread the word youre all coming here for nothing. $7.25 an hour gets you a gallon of gas and a gallon of milk in America. Stay home
Most of them will end up working for probably half of that. But you'd be surprised at what people will work for if they have no alternative.
That's why they live like 10 in a home! Within a year their driving bran new cars and their happy with whatever they get paid they make it work.
Still more than they’ll make in a week back in their native country
@@asadianbelifont3875 god Damn someone is salty just because they found a way to use the system that has been fucking you guys for years. Dont hate them because they are smarter
In 20 years they would be living with the rich white folk, my uncles both did it
Sorry folks, the USA is full, just go to Canada.
there's plenty of opportunity and room to go around here. stop being selfish and ignorant.
Yeah the usa is full of shit
What do these low IQ MS13 Central Americans have to offer to our country? Mexicans work hard, Central Americans just want Welfare
We don't want Mexico's trash here in Canada.
+Baraka Obama thank you someone know that Mexicans are hard workers thank you
3:30 i hope he finds some home
Democrats Guess what I love ar-15s
Damn how they gon' afford TWO walls?
Gaius Julius Caesar if Mexico builds a wall in the south it won't need one with the u.s since the majority of illegals are arriving from central america.
Isn't that Caligula?
We’re not US Tax payers, lol that’s your problem, have fun paying for that wall!!!
Gon' hahaha
Get a grip on reality. They aren't gonna pay for it.
0:19 If I could have a nickel every time I hear these "reporters" say "that isn't true" with Trump.
You don't like being told when you're wrong, do you?
"you are wrong".
yeah but it's literally not true so...
You would think if they were cracking down on their border since 2014 they would have gotten it together by now??? The media don't do nothing but lie and all these idiots believe it smh
Travis Heinze yup, they said trump lied and then showed he didnt lie
If I was born in Honduras or El Salvador I would probably try and emigrate to Chile or Argentina
thatcoolkidjoey smartest move honestly also just better so they don’t have such a big culture shock. Argentina is a nice country and they speak the same language.
Even Panama which is way closer would be a huge improvement.
Nicole Monroe also a big draw for Argentina is you can apply for citizenship after 2 years
stealth797 you're totally right!!! I wonder how many people have already emigrated from Central America to?
thatcoolkidjoey yeah that would be a good idea
Damn I feel bad for that migrant, when someone asked him if he was okay he just broke down like how we do, people forget they’re still people
The reporter got outta there FAST when that guy with the machete came up LOL
Good documentary I’ve been wanting to hear about!
Mexico still not paying for the wall 😂
they will
Tech Tubee sure!! 😂 😆 😝
And how they wont, as much as the wall costs, as much will they get less in the annual handouts that US government gives them every year, or just sanction the trade and thats it.
Dont forget, this already did happen with Pakistan when US cut a part of the funding because the person who helped American troops to kill bin laden, was sentenced... They just cut the wall costs and the price is paid in full.
Tech Tubee if you use annual handouts, that’s US money not Mexico’s , and any trade sanctions will just be pass to the US consumers in taxes, I am not trolling here,there is no way a sovereign country will pay for something they will never build
My heart really breaks for these people, and I want them to be able to be safe and I think our government should help, however I don't want them flooding our country like a goddamn plague. It wouldn't be the worse idea to send in US troops into Honduras and El Salvador to fight the gangs
LivTheGreatTV Too bad our government would never consider doing that. It doesn't align with their interest 😒
LivTheGreatTV my exact thoughts like to fight illegal immigration you have to fight back at its core and really if you don’t help out the corrupt countries it’s just gonna keep happening.
LivTheGreatTV they are not fleeing gangs that is there story which is fake
richard master Lets just blame the US for other countries problems.
richard master They will never happen. Its US territory now. And has bern for decades.
A strong Mexican Wall is priority now.
Excellent work Vice. My heart turned over to see the exhausted migrant with a machete. He was ready to fight for his life.
Wow the guy with the machete was definitely a plant 😆 how much you pay him Vice?
I feel bad for these people and wish them the best but Mexico qnd tue United States aren't some sort of refugee camp where we can take in the worlds problems.Did you lnow that there are more Salvadorans in the US then in El Salvador i mean come on.Its sad and all and a bunch of horrible things happen to them but there has to be a limit and we have our laws too.We need people who will help our country not like most of these people who will most likely work minimum wage jobs with no education and live off the goverment.
they don't live off the government, they can't claim no benefits if they've crossed the border illegally but yeah, most of them work minimum wage jobs.
This really hits home
2:10 that man was walking to what he thought was his death but somehow his story wasn't over and life gave him enough change to keep going
When did we as human beings lost our humanity for others in need. We are headed on a dangerous path with no good outcome.
VINOD MATHEW ask that same question to the leaders of the country’s that these people are fleeing from. We offer asylum in the United States. But it’s illegal to cross any border ... illegally...
Suprised this is featured on vice.
I felt for the machete welding dude
Good work 👍
We need a wall and we need one now
Yes we do!! Build the wall. These illegal immigrants will cause massive overpopulation and homelessness.
White nigga’s be like
It won't stop anything but it will take your money to build. Then, we'll tear it down. Study history, fool.
@@TerryReedMiss What is your problem Terry? There is nothing wrong with securing the borders of our country. So many lives have been lost, because of our open border policy. Building the wall will cause problems for the Mexican Drug Cartel and the gang MS-13. They will have a more difficult time bringing in Meth, Cocaine and Heroine into the United States to make their money. In order to fund their gangs. If they can’t make money? They’re not much of a threat, right? I can understand why drug addicts would be against the wall. HAHA!!
the wall isnt gonna stop the corruption at the border
3:00 That's when you have nothing to lose. The only way is forward. I love his tenacity and determination. I wish and pray that wherever he is, he arrives well and thrive. You don't jail a man for trying to live or else he will become a BAD person as DT refers to all of them.
We have 100,000 Americans living homeless in the state of California alone. These are military veterans, truck drivers, plumbers, Americans with college degrees. Where is the compassion for them? What makes anyone think we can take in these illegal immigrants? We can't!!! We talk about helping others but we're having a difficult time taking care of our own. This video is trying to pull on peoples heart strings. We can't be sentimental fools. Americans come first in America.
An American police officer would never Shake Your Hand while you were brandishing a machete in the other
When a grown man, and I do mean man,...cries because he just wants to live....just wants to live!!....
...man...there's something wrong in this world!!!!
If that man's TRUE emotions doesn't get you inside.....dammit you're worthless as a human.
God forgive us all.
Robert Thompson Hispanics cry about everything. They’re very emotional people.
@@bradrobb7582 ... I have 5 Hispanic, grown children.
They only cry from true heart.
Robert Thompson I married into a Hispanic family as well, I also have Hispanic children, and they all cry like babies at everything.
@@bradrobb7582 because they're a kid, on the name "Child(ren)" They are young so they always cry
Brad Robb If I cry my Mexican mom will just say quit being lazy or say “Los hombres no lloral”
"HAVE SOME PEOPLE IN THE WATER AND SINK THEM WRAFTS!"
Thank you.
Started the video by saying what Trump said wasn’t true... than the rest of the video is about how everything trump said was %100 true hahaha
Donald Trump talks but doesn't do anything he should not be talking
Cesar Sanchez how he’s trying to build the wall like he said
@@CrackerBarrelkid555 ya but Mexico won't pay for it cause it's not his state and if it's a free country why is there a bad presedent
Keep crossing the border🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If American businesses stop hiring them , this would stop. If these businesses are punished accordingly that would help too
Let me get this straight. Its perfectly okay for Mexico to crack down on its own soil and [try to] secure their southern border but yet when America wants to do the same thing on OUR own border, we are the racist ones. Mexico is exercising their right to being a sovereign nation but we shouldn't because we are not racist.
Lord have mercy on all those who dare take those long journeys for a better future...bless them and guide them to your safety. Amen
Why not improve their home country instead?
Can someone explain me, why they want to emigrate to the USA? Maybe I miss something, but it is not like the US really want them there and as they are mainly spanish speaking folks, I would expect that more desired destination would be also spanish speaking.
Most Central America countries have been plagued by violent civil wars funded by the US in the past decades; El Salvador and Nicaragua being one of the bloodiest. Basically years of American imperialism in Latin America "Banana Republics" meant American corporations were owning half of the land so they would export their resources cheaper.
Democratically elected leaders of Central America were deemed "communists" for wanted to kick out the American corporations, and the US funded militant war lords and funneled weapons to overthrow and kill anyone who supported their views. Drug lords were created from the instability with hundreds of thousands American guns and the lucrative cocaine trails which were very profitable for politicians even in the US. Pretty much sums up 1960-1990 Central American pitfall reaching it's height in the 1980s under the Reagan Doctrine.
Jan Skácel I was born in the u.s and speak spanish. Lots of Americans speak spanish.
Jan Skácel By 2050 Hispanics will be a majority in the US, currently there are places in the US where you can get around with out needing english where I live the buses have English and Spanish signs
That is very interesting. I honestly didn't know that. I have been to America and in USA just once and that was to San Francisco. I thought that the reason why there are so many spanish speakers were due to the relative proximity to south US border.
Thank you for the reply. I will read something about it.
Vice: so how do you work here?
Raft guy: I raft people across this river
Got you fam

Vice.....bunch of kids making their fake news stories.
I bet u think Fox news gives out good news, three Mexican countries. Hah wut a joke
They just want a better life like all of us.
Joe Hernandez they can make a better life in they country
I know the Liberal mentality is when the going gets tough just quit and let someone else do it for you.... But in the real world these people cant all just flee, They are leaving behind people who want to make their home country a better place.
tali tali well, hopefully your never in that position, because it's easy to verbalize then live it.
ZubularMobile no, it's not destroying ours. Open your eyes and see. This is the same lies fed since colonies first formed.
Mans economy collapses, blame foreigners.. What ppl like u need to do is stop romancing emotions of anger,hate and start seeing things as a whole.
Jcurvs99 liberal? Wow, I'm pretty sure avoiding starvation, and war is not a liberal thing.. just saying ..
Really sad to see people treated as animals breaks my heart to see a grown ass man cry nothing but respect for South Americans they are hard working dedicated and deserve respect
I'm glad to read down the comments only to find compassionate responses, about keeping the topic simply on these struggling people's well beings, there's too much pointing fingers and blaming going around nowadays, but this comment section, atleast some light of hope was shed, glad that there's hope in humanity still, there's so much going on in the world, society, the world. Now, for the immigrants, I hope all of this changes soon, I really do, cause no human being should have to go through this.. wish you all positivity amongst you all and your beloveds.
I don’t care about your reasons come here the right way or don’t come
Let Go what are you talking about
Let Go Natives killed Europeans too not that anyone cares
Cody Golden i agree. Do it the legal way.
Since you not going thru that you don’t care but if you was in there position bet it would of felt different
Why?
One day I will go help.
There's no time like the present, go help, show them what they've been doing wrong that made their home such a miserable place to be. Go lead them to a brighter future. They are eager to follow the instructions of a foreigner trying to tell them how to live. As soon as you arrive they will place you on a pedestal as a savior and will do everything you say. The transformation will spread across the entire population and shine as a beacon showing what can happen if those in a miserable situation just have a little bit MORE help from an outsider with funny looking hair, skin and eyes that talks all those big foreign words and smells weird.
LaserFlexr you're right man, actions speak better than words. That last part made me chuckle.
This reply is from the perspective of a US Citizen. I want everyone on the planet to be happy and healthy, and that starts in my own neighborhood.
I don't want to dig back through all the comments to see, but I think the original poster; "One day I will go help" was among a lot of comments expressing sympathy for the populations where many migrants are coming from and a desire to go there and make it better. I agree that their situation sucks, tragic beyond belief sometimes, but it seems to me all the efforts to help in the last 50 years have only served to make them hate us out of jealousy, travel thousands of miles on foot to sneak in and take everything they can get by lying and cheating our government programs, and by extension the taxpayers who drive on unmaintained roads, their kids are surrounded by kids who do not speak the same language, cant get in the emergency room when their kid breaks a leg, can't get a raise at work cause there is a line of people willing to do the job for 1/4 pay, even if it takes 3 of them to produce the same, and the problem is 16 times as large as when we first started helping.
You can't help a gambler who is in debt from gambling and is still gambling. You can't help a drunk who is approaching rock bottom but still drinking. The problems they are fleeing are because of the way the population goes about things, it's broke because of what they do and/or what they do not do, it is cultural. The bible speaks of locusts issuing forth, devouring everything in their path and moving on, contribute as little as possible and use, use, use till there is nothing left, sniff the wind for a greener pasture then move on. It was the Mongols who brought about the dark age.
.
One of the most destructive failings is not abiding by the law. If a significant percentage of the population will ignore the law for a dollar, your society is in collapse and will soon be a s***hole. Those behaviors are brought about by lack of wisdom, foresight and delayed gratification. An illegal immigrant, one who crosses a border without permission, is a criminal, their first act in the US will have been to break the law. How many other laws will they ignore?
"Insurance? pfff!, sales tax? pfff! licence? pfff! If somebody offers me a buck I'm gonna take it, if I can get something for free I dont care who suffers as result, I'm gonna take it. I don't care about the consequences."
If they do not want to leave that mindset at the border and assimilate into a healthier way of being, good Citizenship, then we can not accept them or else our nation becomes the same kind of s***hole and our kids will want to flee but there will be nowhere left to escape to.
Ok when someone puts in a legal request to reject their former home nation and pleads to join ours, how do you know they are likely to become a good Citizen or if you probably better turn them around and send them back? Well you make some kind of effort to safeguard your children's future by digging to see if you can verify where they told you they came from, were they a criminal there? If there is not sufficient evidence to support who they are or where they came from, extreme caution is warranted. Then asking the would be entrant a few questions like; How do you intend to earn money to support yourself?, The common language is English, how long do you expect it to be before you can carry on a full conversation in English and no longer revert to your first language?
Do you intend to support the US first, ahead of any other country, including the one you were born in? Important enough to ask every day. In fact I think we all should continually ask ourselves that question.
Then if you are ok with their answers you let them in, and watch them like a hawk. If they are not self supporting without government assistance other than perhaps grade school level English, math and civics, within a year, then you throw them out. Or if you see them waving the flag of some other country, you throw them out. Sorry you just did not make the commitment to join our society.
Theres good ones and bad ones in every group. You dont want to help the bad ones else next generation there will be more bad ones and less good ones.
And if I misunderstood the meaning of "I will go help" I apologize.
@@laserflexr6321 I'm Mexican. I've lived in Mexico, my family is from Mexico. I got a scholarship to study here in the US, and once I'm done I will go back to Mexico.
Make good use of the blessings that have been bestowed upon you, make a difference. God speed Mr. Bob
Tears stopped real quick
The only reason the cop gave him money was because it was being filmed. If the turned the camera off the cop would just detain him.
The southern border? We are concerned with Mexicos northern border.
U.S. troops need to be allowed the Lock and Load to keep Invaders OUT of the USA!
Mechete dude was like straight outta of a movie
Lol that first dude be making like $1,000 on a 5 day week 👍🏾
The U.S. is reaping what the C.I.A. and friends did to those countries back then.
whatever the CIA did or did not do would have been fixed by now, but those countries have always been corrupt.
this breaks my heart :(
What an amazing scene that was with the machete guy!
these poor people why are we as humans treating each other like this? no reason for anyone to have to live like this.
theodore scott because they are illegally crossing international borders. Which in the United states is a federal crime. At that point making them a prisoner. And prisoners are people who have their rights suspended from them.
That guy with the machete was a pretty good actor!
Eduardo Cazares, when all else fails due to lack of intelligence, resort to marginalization and name calling! It’s all you have.
Just remember: Vice wants to turn your hometown into little Honduras.
2toesjoey neat
I'm just a kid
Maybe that way your hometowns can earn some heart and live. Not scary places without soul and pale people walking
2toes You sound intelligent bud. Can you give us the conspiracy link you get all your info on?
Jose Campos It’s called the DNC national platform. You seem smart too bud, read it,
“Those immigrants already living in the United States, who are assets to their communities and contribute so much to our country, should be incorporated completely into our society through legal processes that give meaning to our national motto: E Pluribus Unum... We should ensure due process for those fleeing violence in Central America and work with our regional partners to address the root causes of violence. We must take particular care with children, which is why we should guarantee government-funded counsel for unaccompanied children in immigration courts. We should consider all available means of protecting these individuals from the threats to their lives and safety-including strengthening in-country and third-country processing, expanding the use of humanitarian parole, and granting Temporary Protected Status.” Aka little Honduras lol
if you don't want immigrants then crack down on the business owners who hire them. Business owners hire immigrants to not pay taxes and rake in more earnings. But no. People blame the immigrants and don't look at why they come here. Because in the US their is work for them.
The man from El Salvador broke my heart. Why are the leaders of these countries doing anything for their people? It seemed very hard for him to leave his country and if their country's leaders would help their citizens they wouldn't have to do these journeys.
build the wall
We need to help our own country the United States has plenty of poverty and homeless that we seem to forget about. We need to take care of ourselves before we can start helping others. That being said we could help bring in more workers with visas or maybe help send over food and supplies to help them. I think the united states just staying out of the issue would be a good idea for once. We need to stop policing the world. Maybe some minor help and funding to help them learn to fish instead of just giving them fish.
That lady at the end makes it clear that no matter how horrible the US immigration policies make it, people will still think (rightly or wrongly) that moving to the US will make everything better for them.
Actually they started cracking down. When President Trump threatened tariffs on Mexico for illegal immigrants. They did nothing before facing economic retaliation
You have it wrong. Trump is talking about the Mexico-US border. He wants Mexico to do more on that border. He doesn't care about the southern border of Mexico. Please don't cause more hate than needed even if it's against someone like trump. You are a news serivce.
@Eddy Rose You Do realize Central Americans have to enter Mexico to reach the USA. Once they’re in Mexico, they eventually try to cross the US-Mexico Border.
Do you think we deserve Mexico's help the way the president has been treating them?
Sound stupid .
"news service" or SJW/progressive propaganda... Vice is basically the left wing equivalent of Fox News... bias/tribalism at its finest.
why do you think Mexico is doing this? It is much easier to catch people at the Southern Mexico board than the Southern US boarder because of its size. Mexico is hoping for two things: Less Central Americans making it to the US boarder and more jobs for Mexicans in Mexico .
1:27 This is true if you want to drive south into Mexico a good bit. You can drive into the border towns without a pass, but once you start to go further south you need to have registered for a permit to do so.
As an American I blame my government for favoring and helping oppressive governments in Latin America.
Mexican law enforcement knew how to handle the situation with the man from El Salvador. I applaud that because in America the man would have most likely been shot to death if the officers weren't equipped with tasers and only handguns, like the officers were in that scenario
Bradley Fenner
I would've shot him f' that!!
Imagine if you met that guy alone.
Bradley Fenner yes, they knew exactly how to deal with that situation...do absolutely nothing. That’s amazing “law enforcement”. 😂
J Olivas Nobody lost their lives here. Isn't that the point???
Edgar Sandoval the point of what exactly, the big Mexico “crackdown”? He literally admitted to these officers that he is not a citizen of their country, refused their order to put down a machete and their response was, be on your way then good sir, here is some money for a taco.The U.S. is that way. Again, just amazing “law enforcement” 😂
J Olivas They weren't immigration officers. Just like most police departments in the US, they didn't overreach they authority. He isn't a threat to them and is obviously carrying the machete for self protection. Both parties went about their ways. What part of that didn't you understand?
Tragic how the civilised world does not help Central America Thrive.
SnarlaRae they do. The US gives billions of foreign aid to South American countries. It’s just that these people don’t want to do the hard work to fix these countries. It’s all about poor people fighting for scraps that the countries have. People need to start innovating and creating businesses. Need to stop engaging in violence and apprehend those that do. We aren’t the worlds police and it’s not our job to fix all the poor countries in the world. It’s all in the mindset of the people in the countries. There are many poor post Soviet countries that are wealthy now because the people decided they wanted a better life, but Central American countries don’t seem to want that
TK UA How idiotic are you? Big american companies steal the natural resources and land from central americans. Thats why they are poor. Look up the banana wars.
TK UA dang dude you know all the answers, you should call trump right now. Hey trump! This random dude on the internet has all the answers!
SirVixIsVexed And Washington isn’t corrupt. You make me laugh!
SirVixIsVexed the term 3rd world was created by 1st world nation's to feel superior, the US has always kept south America weak because it's national security risk, countries like Mexico can't even purchase US fighter jets, this is why Mexico buys euro copters, Russian transport helicopters , just like with imperialism with Great Brittain they left countries in shambles after using their natural resources and placing dummy governments to keep them weak and enslaved, personally responsibility yes but it's easy to say when your country hasnits own federal reserve that makes money out of thin air, only country to have that...
3:32 should have put a tracker on him to see how far he has made it
I've been to Mexico and Central America . I understand that people there want to work in the U.S and make dollars ,but it's so selfish of them to risk their sons and daughters life as it is their wife's well being . I would rather live however I could in my own country instead if going to struggle in another country . I think its crazy . Mexico and Guatemala is not that bad . You learn to live in the environment. Not only that ,but you have a better chance of making it in your own country. Stay home ,be happy to be alive and to have your family. People get threatened in all countries ,this is why you keep your home protected and keep guns in your home .
Why not take Mexico to war?
Clean up our backyard, I'm sure more people would wanna stay....
Many reasons honestly
For one pretty much any major war now would probably spiral into ww3
Secondly with the amount of Mexico born citizens both legal and illegal in the us we would have a civil war at the same time
Third reason is fighting Mexico isn't just fighting their army it also involves the many cartels Mexico would pay to help them (not unlike when the us payed the mafia to protect our ships)
Honestly the only way that I can think of fixing the border issue is increasing the border patrol from around 20-30k agents up to 100-200k agents that would cost a lot and it still wouldn't be enough to stop it completely.. oh also build that Wall we need (you have to admit even if you don't like Trump the wall would keep out around 55% of illegals crossing in to the us)
Btw: some of my numbers may be off but I'm an 18 yo high school dropout so I don't really know everything 😂
@@bitchslapyoass7408 @ the end of the day,we really don't have a border crisis! Simply a false narrative sponsored by HATE!!!!!
Yo Mexico Is #AMAZING SO DONT EVEN DARE JUDGE Them. Btw I LOVE EVERY COUNTRY THAT HAS HAMBURGERS & FRIES😋
I agree with President Trump! Mexico isn't doing enough!
after listening to Radiolab podcast: Border Trilogy, it really shine a new light on their plight. Pushing migrant crossing a harsher route through the dessert are under-report, which could be in 10thousand and more
that's because they don't spend nearly enough money. a poor country needs to have open borders.
i don't agree with closed borders but it did results in a job surplus...which is bad for the gdp
jason200912 how will having open borders help raise money. It's just been costing money to remove illegal residents.
jason200912 there already isn't work in Mexico. People literally sit around in their homes and my family sends them money. If Mexico ever wants to become a first world country, they will need a great border
The migrant is ms-13
Ok david
escarsegat no his not
escarsegat Ms 13 is from el Salvador and Mexicans are not allowed in their gang
Manual Villacana there are Mexicans in ms
Manual Villacana you dont know that
Imagine playing country roads over the beginning of the river border scene
Pls if you make it you have my respect
“thAT Isn’T TrUE!” Said in a offended manor
hahhhhahahhahhah they know that trump is right
Christian Arroyo get your mom to show her how, she's pretty damn good at it.
Christian Arroyo so you're still upset you couldn't get your gay wedding cake, get over it.
Tesla AC face it y'all are mad your blue wave is starting to turn in to warm trickle of piss.
Christian Arroyo "relax yourself buddy" haha I knew I was right about the wedding cake. How does it feel knowing Trump is your president?
@ Christian Arroyo that... is not necessary. especially for someone bearing the name of our religion.
If you want to come here then do it legally! Just because you want a better life that's not an excuse to just cross any border. We should have more compassion for our struggling citizens affected by illegal aliens. Americans first!
lilMer Even if a gang tries to kill you and your baby?
Angel Gutierrez that's an excuse to break our laws and drain our system? Fix your own country. Americans first! We should have more compassion for our struggling citizens.
lilMer we should have more compassion for all struggling humans.
I agree Americans first.
JohnnyWatches nope not everyone that wants to be here gets to come here. Billions of the worlds poor would love to come here. No thanks.
dang, that girl at the end can come and live with me if she needs a place to stay lol
I learnt about El Salvador in school a few weeks ago
