Hey pals! Thanks for watching this video! We made it nearly a year ago & I was constantly trying to find the "best way" to release it... Ultimately... I just want it seen so everyone can get just .00001% more insight to such a vast & complicated issue.
The absolute best way to help, is to share the video. It's that simple. The more people that see it and share it, the more impact it has.
Love you all!
Love u Elton plz see this and like it I have watched every one of your videos there awsome I love tfil
I never realized how horrible some peoples lives are because of these things. There are so many people worried about the drama in politics or school drama and stuff like that, but some people have to go through this. It’s really sad
Hi
@@amybroadhurst6099 ya its sad
Thank you Elton for this amazing video, Letting everyone know what is actually going on in the world today, We love you Elton. Keep up the good work.
Elton may be crazy sometimes, but he sure does have a big heart
I agree
I agree with you
"sometimes"
Yeet Emma yup
The best heart ❤
I love watching documentaries on TH-cam talking about serious things instead of about youtube drama
Facts
Same, because the drama makes me mad that their fighting about it but what makes me even more mad is How corrupted politics are no matter what country or continent they are all corrupted in one way or another and THAT'S what makes me angry because people don't see it behind all their fame and riches but it's probably the biggest problem out there
Same and I wish there was a lot more especially from Elton because he does a good job of not missing anything.
Man, rewatching this really makes me proud we made this. Sleeping on that roof was COLD!
Mike Rickshaw, your brave, and I thank you for your courage. Thank you for making this Video.
Mike Rickshaw , thank you for your part in this. You definitely should be proud of it.
I hope so many more people watch it and try to help out where they can. 👏🏼🙏🏼
Thank God for your heart and soul. Keep on doing this, let see how many issues we can tell people about before 2021. Or how many issues our government chooses to ignore.
Thankyou Mike thankyou thankyou thankyou for doing this
That’s how people live in Mexico or anywhere
can’t wait for more of these films u can tell he put his whole heart in these
He really has and it speaks volumes about the type of man Elton is and it's truly amazing
Man knowing you got parents that went through this and went through it all just for us to have a better life for future generations to come
Hits different 😢💔
Weii me diste ganas al aroz con pollo
This comment hit me hard. Because if people are successful at creating lives in the US their whole family history changes. Wow. Love always❤️ I wish the world thought the same😔
My dad. Crossed illegally when he was 10. It took him till he was in his 30’s to become a US citizen.
Yess
This really hits home to me. It’s amazing to see you shining light on this situation that is often overlooked by everyone. We love this and we stand behind you!
i cried when that guy said he was cut open and got stabbed.. i cried the whole video along
This shows a different side of things we don’t see, what I didn’t know existed. Thankyou for bringing awareness to things like this Elton ❤️
Preach! 😁 Elton is a great guy and I'm glad he does stuff like this.
Elton,
Thank you for this. We all have a story but not everyone wants to share because it’s sort of a bad feeling like fear and guilt. Thank you for this , I don’t know how to express my gratitude.
This really just puts things into perspective for a lot of people (including me) I’ve never realized how horrible these peoples lives are.
Caleb Roberts Conditions they live in is horrible..let’s see you go to Mexico and do it legally then you’ll understand
Caleb Roberts doubt u ever been through this shit....so shut the fuck up:3
@@omarantunez1198 Bullshit . So fucking tired of people wanting a free pass . Sure , come to the USA and get free health care , food stamps , etc . Don't give me all this border crossing bull . This pisses me off .
Heavy Metal Driving not everyone thinks that way most people come simply for the safety and choose to work for most of their lives, sure you have your right to get pissed; however i can guarantee you’ve never felt the fear of your life in the hands of crazy people and the feeling of being so powerless that your home get taken right under your feet. Also incase you don’t know how the U.S handles immigration it isn’t as black and white as you think it takes time and money and under the circumstances i just gave that may not be possible so do us all a solid and stop being an ass and you can continue to follow donald trump’s as well as your own beliefs in the comfort of your home. Cheers tho..;)
You know where I like it... and you know now that im here i might as well come here too the big difference is you’re coming from a developed country which makes it much easier to emigrate, also im just gonna sit here and assume you’re white because of your choice of race in this example and simply say it doesn’t matter if people don’t want you in their country the point is you are white and that gives you an advantage in the system by default because this country was built by whites thinking they were the shit. Anyways yeah I’ll stay here with that logic haui zuleyka is giving...
“even in death, they are separated by a border”
They need to say why they do it and stop hiding the reason
💔
Cried my eyes out watching this cause my grandparents made the same journey to give my mom and me a better life .. thank you for shedding light of this topic Elton it means so much more then you’ll ever know ❤️
More influencers need to focuse on these situations
Agree🙌
seeing this makes me appreciate what my parents have done in order to get where we are and I'm glad Elton is shining light on this topic which is extremely sensitive for many people on this side
This video shows how bad things truly are. &' there's still so much more. Elton, I love you.🙌💚 I had chills during every interview. The whole video made me think of my people. La neta que senti tan feo, los niños, el miedo, &' people ignore that there's so many dying, dead, lost, tortured, and living hell. Hurts my heart &' it should affect everyone in some type of way. This really is life for people. Que Dios bendige a mi jente.
@RebelMinxyRozu somos muchos que le pasan eso. we got be one, not all against each other
im one of those people who went thru hell just to live in the usa, ive been deported 3 times, ive been kidnapped by gangs in tj. now im living my life
@RebelMinxyRozu I don't mean to disrespect anyone in anyway. You might even be able to help me understand, but why are you attempting to cross the border all you have to do is become an American citizen it isn't that hard. If it is more difficult then that tell me but to me you sound lazy and are just crying about it. We have told you the requirements if you don't like them then the U.S.A. is not the country your looking fore.
Brutal Eye371 This is the single most disrespectful and ignorant reply I have heard. They are not crying. They need help. They are not lazy. A lot of people attempt to become citizens and are turned away. Educate yourself.
@@andiquick539 I have actually and that is why im saying this I could go on to prove why im right but I don't feel like righting a hole essay
I can’t stop crying man. All these interviews broke my heart
Wow😭 some people try to come here for a better living for their families. God bless everyone who is going through anything bad.
IM LITERALLY 1:14 INTO THIS VIDEO AND already I want to say on behalf of my people (Mexican Americans) thank you Elton. I know I can say thank you before I even watch the rest because I know your heart, your intensions are always good.. thanks for bringing awareness to this :) @tfil #tfil #elton
Where's the "no skipping" squad at?! I'm watching from start to end because if this project means a lot to Elton, it means a lot to me!
Exactly!
I love how tfil brings attention to things like this. I seriously cried because my grandpa shouldnt be here today but he crossed the border and lives to tell how he survived and cross but that was back when it so much easier now seeing how everything is it's just like wow why is this happening.
“Even in death they’re separated by a border” damn.
This really hit home and you have no idea how much I cried. Thank you so much, Elton, for spreading awareness to the stories people refuse to listen to. Thank you for giving them the chance to tell people their stories. Thank you.
Love it so much. Means a lot to me. I've been considering moving countries because of the awful situation we've been dealing with around here, and although I do plan on doing it legally and n ways I can contribute to the place that will provide me with safety, I can't blame those that are only doing their best to get a better and safer life for themselves and their families. We gotta do what we gotta do.
we need more people like Elton!
Ok i used to like u guys ..... Now i love u great job this is what an influencer should be doing bringing this to light
I just did a geography class on this and a man and his 2 year old daughter died crossing the river from Mexico to the USA
Why does our world have to be like this, They deserve better
This was heartbreaking to watch but on the other hand very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this Elton and for doing what you can to help them. We need more people like you
glad to see you're shedding light to this topic
this made my heart sink, thank you for shedding the light on this rising topic elton. much love to you!
Elton your calling is so much higher than you know. You make me proud to be one of your supporters/fans. Keep making the world a better place 🖤
This makes me so angry at how humanity is at its low in some parts of the world, thank Elton for sharing this documentary.
I wasn’t going to watch this but I remembered in his last video he asked us to give the documentary’s a chance and I’m glad I did bc these r honestly serious problems and I think we need to come together to solve them
I have so mutch respect that you would share these stories and bring awarness to your subscribers and also to the world
For how serious and interesting topic this is, I will ask my tutor teacher to play this to spread awareness, and is really good and should be spread for good reason
Stay strong for the people in Mexico.
Thank you so much Elton for documenting what happening. Im Mexican myself and my family and I are so.mad at what is happening .
It's so sad that people are going through something like this.
Especially, most of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins) live there.
God bless all the people who are going through tough times.❤
*Finally I'm glad to see this I'm tired of the Racism going on especially in the comment section of Videos it's disgusting*
You know where I like it... bro i just addressed your in a different comment, cmon man (don’t worry I’ll make it quick) (also i hope you’re not serious or you truly are a dumbass) White people built this country upon the suffering of many other races, Whites deserve nothing you claim they did good even though they built a nation upon stolen land. This and that about we aren’t racist or we don’t wanna destroy anyone, well yeah if there’s no-one left then who will you keep in the dirt while living a life of false superiority. Just saying tho.
You know where I like it... America is destroying people . Heck we’re destroying ourselves!! God I wouldn’t be surprised if America got destroyed in the future because of how people are in this country. And also people in Mexico do accept white people heck they look at you as rich and in a way you are ! Because over there in Mexico most people are living in poverty in fear of cartels and they get scared because of them because people get kidnapped and end up dead almost every damn day there . You can’t be in Mexico without seeing one bad thing per day it is super dangerous there . Meanwhile in America most dumbass people who mainly voted for trump and are racist are extremely rude and often take advantage of the situation Mexicans are in and by that I mean most of the time they make the Mexican worker work longer and harder for less money then normal workers . So many things for me as a LEAGAL MEXICAN AMERICAN human being I have experienced by other sexist and racist Americans and I am only a damn 14 year old !! And yet I know so damn much about this shit and how cruel people can fucking be in this country it’s honestly sad . I thank god for the little amount of good people there are in this country because those are the people who deserve good things in their life .
You know where I like it... whites crested racism tf u talking about sis
Come to destroy another country and call them racist, what the fuck kind of stuff? Look at your government don't blame for the other nation.
FINALLY. FUCKING FINALLY. Someone with FAME actually TRIES TO SPREAD AWARENESS about these horrible issues to younger generations. They don't just say it's good or bad, and just move on. I'm SO proud of you Elton, words couldn't even describe the emotions right now.
I'm an American born Mexican, my parents both got over in different ways. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing this to the world, I don't know what came over me, but when you showed the field with all the bricks I couldn't help crying. This is an issue I care about, and it's thanks to you.
I live in a border city and i am so glad someone finally decided to shine light on this situation. I had my mom and nana watch this and they loved it as well. My dad is from Jalisco Mexico who appreciates people like Elton so much. He works out of town but when he gets home I am going to have him watch it
Elton, thank you for this.
This means a lot to the immigrant community.
This is like the railroad to freedom all over again.
Great job Elton. Keep shedding light on these issues! It needs to be done!
this just broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes love you Elton for all that you do you have such a caring heart
Thank you elton for trying to understand our struggle and spread it to those who dont know what we go through😇
Love u guys this was an amazing video... keep doing TH-cam!!! 🤟❤️❤️
So many TH-camrs wouldn’t be able to survive going there and see what those are going through. I’m so proud that Elton (and mike) were able to go there and document serious stories and the things that they have to go through over there. Also they did all this while making a great video.
TFIL and Elton, thank you so much for bringing awareness to this, I am daughter of Mexican immigrant parents and I know the heartache and struggle. I am looking forward to many more documentaries with subjects such as these. Keep up the great work!
to whoever’s reading this, ily & have a great day
Thank you Elton for showing the problems my people are having I’m lucky enough to live here because my parents sacrificed everything to come live over here so I was born over here but I have mexican blood and this really does break my heart because all of them are just looking for a better life style it’s hard to look for work over there and the life style isn’t the best thank you Elton for using your platform for a good cause this really did made me cry Thank You Elton con mucho amor ❤️
12:55 I feel so bad for that amazing hard working guy it is so sad to see and here someone that had to go through that god bless the poor man and his kids who suffered with him
You inspire me more and more this world is so great-full to have someone like you who is willing to helping others..
We have to improve our system for LEGAL immigration.
Elton... this video is so beautiful. wow. how heart wrenching. Thank you for doing this.
I can`t begin to imagine what it must like to live in a permanent state of anxiety, Elton,I truly congratulate you and the TFIL group in this worthy cause you have undertaken.
Elton this is by far your best show ever!!! We are proud of you and will take this journey with you no matter how crazy you sometimes get because there is always a reason behind that brain of yours and you truly are a person who pushes friends and love one to the edge.
I hope those who going thru this stay strong! ❤️
that man that got beaten and stabed he should be in the us with his family
legally
Yes legally
i know so sad these families are being separated
I am really happy that TFIL is making these documentaries because this kind of news need to be spread. More people need to learn the truth about what is really happening around them. I can't wait to see the documentaries that they will be producing in the future.
Thank you for producing this and posting it. It's heartbreaking, and hopeful to hear these stories of survival.
This had me in tears🥺😭❤️
SHARE THIS!!! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW the TRUTH
These documentaries are so underrated!!! These should be everywhere! Love you uncle Elton! Thank you!
Elton, what a powerful video, I watched from beginning to end, thank you for all what you do❤️
My dad was in the process of receiving his residency when I was 5yrs old and yet the boarder patrol ripped all his documents confirming he was just waiting for his court day they still took him out to TJ and still beat him up... hearing each story brakes my heart because all the sacrifices our parents do are for a better future for us, thank you Elton for bringing awareness to a such a delicate topic knowing that donations can be made is a plus will have to stop by when I’m tj at the shop
I’ve only been waiting for this for a couple months or something nobigdealoranything
This means so much to Elton you have no idea. I’m from El Salvador and my family had to go through the same struggles these people have to go through everyday. Thank you for raising awareness.
you sir never disappointed. I've always knew you have a great ability to care, but you always surpass expectations. plus you are a great storyteller. This world is lucky to have someone like you in it.
i cried when they told their story
when the jiimmy said he wanted to be a border patrol argent to let people migrate , almost made me cry. that was so sweet. 🥺
#justiceforjimmy
Not thats not
Wow Elton, this was really good. I can’t wait to see more videos like this! Keep up the awesome things you’re doing for people!
Truly amazing video. It puts a spotlight on what we need to change. Very sad.
Me a mexican reads title:
also me: *lesbian confusion*
Edit: To my boss, Donald Trump said you can fire people for being gay but you can't stop me from slashing your tires 👌😂
Omg! Did you do that? 🤣
Also, Trump is starting to look like a huge bitch.
Wow 🤣
Trump 2020
Fuck the dem if you don't like it here leave bitch
I was born in imperial beach about 5 min from the border i used to go to tj and party when i was a teen and the way these beautiful people have to live is so sad and everyday i wish i could of helped!
This video really hits home for me my husband has family in Nicaragua and came here a asylum seeker. Thank god he is a citizen now. Thank you Elton. Beautiful video
My family is Salvadorian and this made me cry. It’s amazing to know there are people truly helping others coming from a place where they had nothing.
Just imagine if everyone liked this or even watched this and the word could get out on how hard conditions and life are for these people,
They should play this video in history class
Please do a docementry in south africa becuase we should riase the awerness of farm murders in south africe their is atleast 4-7 farm murders a day pls help
That was really beautiful, i've never seen a documentary like this before. You should be very proud that you're helping save lives like this.
Coming from a family who went thru this. I have to say no matter what im proud. This is our story and you told it really well. Thanks Elton ❤
Another dope vid🔥💯
I just want to thank you Elton for making a video to have others realize how difficult it is in Tijuana I bet thousands don’t know how México is leaving there Its not easy!! My people just want to come for a better life! And I bet those who vote for the disgusting president should go live there with no money and see how they can make a living I am so grateful that I was born here my parents and others are here working there ass off for us there children’s. This makes me cry because there so much racism that goes on here and treat anyone with color different not knowing that this is our land too but they just took it away from our people and treat us like where nothing! If your a person that is against Mexican learn how they live and maybe if you have a heart you will know why we come to America and if your Mexican being okay with building a wall! Your just disgusting to me do you know where your ancestors come from did you forget ?! Your okay separating kids from there parents?! & Family!
Thank you Elton really we appreciate it ❤️🇲🇽
Que Vivía los Mexico ❤️🇲🇽
I'm ok with them fighting the corruption in their home country for a better life for their children. America = the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina,
Canada, Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Guatemala
Ecuador, Bolivia, Haiti, Cuba, Honduras
Paraguay, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama
Uruguay, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Tobago, Guyana
Suriname, Belize, Bahamas, Barbados, St Lucia
Granada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,
Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis
The United States is a country in America, America is a continent. The US is full 3rd most populated country in the world. US citizens fought many wars, for change when we were unhappy with our country the revolutionary and civil wars. We did not run from the problems at home. Ever hear of a reservation because native Americans never left the US. If you went to another country 200 years ago, when the us was established, that's your country-you can't 200 years later have a sense of entitlement. The US does not owe illegals anything. Those that contributed to this country are citizens. Those born here are citizens. Those that immigrated legally are citizen. The rest are lawbreakers
Thank you so much for making this, I myself as A mexican. This just makes me happy, Thank you for showing others how it's like for my people.
So heartbreaking! I wish I could do more! Thankful for your help!
I nearly puked listening to Efron’s story. God bless his soul.
Caitlin Burke how do you almost puke your body is messed up
Drip God just a gut feeling, like a 20 pound weight
They need to focus on making their own countries batter and safer places.
Dylan Hughlett yes they do.
Absolutely. Otherwise, all we're asking is that they come here legally.
Elton, I have never said anything on your channel. I found you a few months ago and was so impressed with your non-profit. That led me to all your friends and as a 42- year- old youth librarian, binge watched to stay relevant while longing to be in my 20s again. Since then, I just love you guys and watch for me, as weird as that sounds. But this, this is amazing and so impressive. Thank you for this. Thank you for showing the world. Thank you for all you do. Most of all, congratulations on creating this and using your popularity for good and to spread compassion and kindness. ❤
Can't wait to see more of these. No matter how much I love TFIL videos, these films and inspiring videos will always be my favourite, because it's trying to do things to genuinely help those that need it.
This is so sad 😭😭😭💕
I realize that things are really bad for these people but please cross the border legally!
They would if they could Zach.
Time is something they cant afford.
That doesn't give them an excuse too brake the law. If they want to live in America and have a better life they have to obey the rules even if they have to wait.
@@zachm.558 to get legal asylum they must enter the US. You and i know nothing of what they go through. We are no one to judge what they do to stay alive.
I understand that. We all go through hardships, but whats the point in going across the border illegally only to get caught and deported back to were they came from. I'm not judging anyone, i'm just saying that if your going to do something do it right. I don't want to ufende anyone i'm just stating the truth of the matter.
@@zachm.558 the truth of the matter is that our "hardships" are no where near as devastating as theirs. They dont have time to wait because of violence. Any money they make will be stolen. And any time and possibility of staying in the US is better than dieing elsewhere. They cross the border illegally with all its hardships because it is their only option. They dont have the privileges we do. Of course the many who can do come here legally but we shouldnt turn our backs on those who cant.
Much needed video!
This is somthing alot of people didnt know about, or atleast what i never knew about, its awsome to have a influencer who actually takes this in and spreads what we should be aware of
I’m not crying 😭 your crying
were are all my latinos at?!
Right here, I'm Latino and Lesbian, Donald Trump hates my guts💯😂
Well i hate him also 🤣🤣
Perla Crystal Im Latino and bi and Ik he hate me but I hate him too💀buttt viva la Mexico 🇲🇽
🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹
Elton I have so much respect for you . Your documentary made me wanna help so I have donated to border angels and will continue to do so when I can. I am blessed to live in Australia and I am everyday eternally grateful just for being born in a country where I and my kids can grow up without fear. God bless Elton you are amazing. ✌️🙏🇦🇺
Thank you Elton for shining a light on this! I hope more youtubers take note and start doing stuff like this ♥️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
