Investigating America’s Most Infamous Border
Our road trip across the United States would not be complete without a stop at our border with Mexico. So we spent a few days in the El Paso area, learning from locals and experts on immigration policy, the politicization of the wall, and what the reality of what life near the border is like.
About us: we are two college students who are genuinely curious about the wide variety of people and perspectives across the United States. This summer, we are traveling the country to answer the question: what is the current state of America? Follow along to learn as we go.

Asking Republicans to Cook Dinner in THEIR Home
มุมมอง 1.9K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
For episode 9 of the Crossroads America road trip, we were inspired by a concept from the guys over at @DiscoverConnection. In many families, dinner is important quality time , and across difference, shared meals can serve as a connector of diverse cultures and experiences. Putting this concept to the test, we wanted to try to cook dinner with conservatives in the deep south... as two liberal g...

Creating a Hype Video for the Most Abandoned City in America
I hope there are at least 7 digits in his account or this is not worth it.....
This is too much, and by the time you are 40 you are broken DOWN. I mean the joints, the back, your spirit. It gets beaten down.
so where are the feminists wanting more female representation? i guess that only works for cushy office jobs with high pay.
regs, meaning crew needs 8 hrs sleep.... just saying
He can’t work in an office. I get it and I can’t be without my kids eights days at a time. To each’s own.
Sad
Ty for a great Doc
I would award this people any drug for free.Just to keep them awake. I dont know how Americans can expect something like this from Humans and then at the same time ban every helpful substance
50 hour shift. Sure dude. FAKE NEWS
Meth
Don't see any strong, independant women that I have heard so much about.
God I'm happy to live in a first world country with labour laws
Wonderful Documentary. Really enjoyed it...
Still think USA is great? This is a pure example of modern slavery
I also work in an industry that ignores special days. The family understands. It makes the rest of the days a lot better!
the people that make up this country are better than the ones running it which is crazy
a real man right here wants to work so his kids have a better life
Whenever I see some chick on twitter bitching about her impossible life, I think of stuff like this. This is *incomprehensible* to 99.9% of internet whiners.
Love the captain's sense of humor. I hope he remains strong, and may God give him, and his crew success in all that they do, in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
12.5 subs… I expect you should hit 100,000k quick with this type of content.. so good! Thanks
Why do people do this job? Is it incredibly well paid? Cant imagine they find a lot of applicants otherwise.
Where are the Feminists claiming this jobs for them?
Where are all the feminists who figths for Mens and Womens equity, i dont' see them here ?
Spent the last 2 years working 80+ hours a week. Are bills were paid but I almost lost my relationship and family. I worked nonstop and couldn’t put the bottle down.
What a hell hole. At what point does a man say enough is enough? I wouldn’t tolerate even a quarter of those shenanigans. You have to be borderline destitute to accept any part of that into your reality.
Crazy to think there's competition for this job.
This page is about to blow up. Keep it up. 🤘
All these people had good answers.
Kinda sad he chose the boat over his family. I never want to miss a moment with my kids or my wife. Life is already too short.
Wonder how much meth they go through 😂
I love how he has like 10 cans of FlexSeal at the ready.
Thank you for what you do! I'm like a lot of the other people who make the world go round,started working on our dairy farm when I was 7 years old feeding cattle making fence washing cows udders before putting milking machines on, driving tractors at 7 , did this to hang out with my dad and older brother, and also marked sticks for logging, spent 40 years of over the road driving money was good, four spinal fusions and I'm jealous of people who can go for a walk
The last couple minutes of this were so real. The american dream has become chasing money or chasing happiness. You dont get both most of the time
these dudes are all gonna die young if they are getting that little of sleep. thats sad to hear. but i guess its what it takes.
Soon as people stop working so hard like this to make the boat owners millions, is the moment they start actually being able to live their lives, Completely unnecessary.
Try to show ur vids in a faster and shorter manner. Just a waste of time!
50 hour shifts, eh? does the company supply the meth or do they have to get their own for the job?
Anyone know why they were yelling at that boat to go back at about 5 minutes.
You knew your job as a captain was gonna keep you away from your family and you still brought 4 kids into this world? Pure irresponsibility
I don't know anything about the fishing industry, but it sounds to me that you're fighting for an antiquated lifestyle. As an outsider I say give up and let the big corporations do the dirty work. Move on and find a solution that benefits both you and your family. You sound like the story of sisyphus, forever pushing a boulder up an infinite mountain. Give up. Move on. Just my opinion.
Brutal.
Yearg into the belly of the beast.
Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.
It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit to forgive them for having witnessed your own.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Be thankful when you don't know something for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world.
He reminds me so much of my father. How I wish when we had the chance, that he chose to have a little less when he could have, to have a little more now.
A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
