I did 12 years in prison from 18-30 Got deported to a city I was a stranger to Worked my ass off now I’m a training director for a big company that has a satellite office here in TJ, I’m married with a 2 year old son, this city gave me a 2nd opportunity at life, love this city. ❤
I'm glad to hear you did that That's great because that's what it's about You learned your lesson You took that and you made a great life That's what these people need to do and congratulations
Don't trip dudes i got deported too after 18 years in the usa since i was 6 . Life is great here too i got a new family.Now am a true mexican again,GOD IS GREAT!!
Brother e vivido toda mi vida en usa 🇺🇸 y no tengo papeles y me asusta k me devuelvan es bueno mexico 🇲🇽 I want to back I’m cansado de pensar si un día no vuelvo a casa
I know a couple homies that got sent to Tijuana. Spoke both languages perfect. Saved enough money to get to Mazatlan the other Zihuatanejo. With nothing but a backpack each. They both now run bars at top notch all inclusive resorts making mad money. Found love and have kids. Keep y’all heads up. Find the positive find the light. It’s always shinning. Love.
How is Guadalajara these days? I spent a couple of months there during the pandemic by marketa San Juan de Dios. Some lovely chicas malas nearby. Malas pero buenas.
I was deported in 2011 to Mexico and the last time I was here was when I was 4 years old ,didn’t even know the language. But now I love it here now and I don’t want too go back to the USA .
yeah i was never deported but a family member passed and left me some land so i went back to claim it, turns out cost of living is super cheap in mexico especially if you earn american dollars. since i work in IT i was able to find remote work and ive been living here since 2009 with no reap reason to ever go back. keep in mind this, yes with a advanced degree in america you will make alot of money, *but* you will also loose alot of that in taxes, housing, food, transportation ect ect just general cost of living. now yes we have all those expenses here too but since i work for a company in germany doing IT work the europe is waaay more then the peso so i do more then well for myself here. if you speak english well and are going to go back to mexico trust me the locals know you got a leg up and they are mad about it.
Exactly! He probably assumed that his parents secured U.S citizenship or U.S permanent residency for him when he was a child.He also probably felt that he had citizenship because he served in the US Military .
@@leesenger3094 they didn’t offer to make me a citizen, why would I risk my life for a country that doesn’t want me? So I can make videos complaining? lol I’m sure you have served and I’m sure it paid off for you. Thanks for your input
Got deported after living in the US for almost all my life (24 years roughly), landed in Juarez worked remotely there for 2 years finished a coding boot camp for web development, met a girl online through a language app and thanks to my remote job skills and better pay I was able to fly to Spain and relocate there to meet her, i now live here in a beautiful Mediterranean beach town , living with her and i am now a year away from becoming a European resident. I guess I can say life gave me a second chance.

I Was Deported In 05 I Was Born In Romita,Guanajuato And My Parents Took Me To The US When I Was About 2 Years Old. I Lived My Teen Years In Salinas Ca. I GotcIn Alot Of Trouble Growing Up Even Though I Had My Both Parents With Me. I Did Alot Of Stupid Shit. And Until I Landed In Juvenile Hall In Salinas The Judge Said Enough Is Enough Im Sending You Back Home. Linving Here Since Back In My Rancho And Feel Free I Started Learning Cutting Hair Here In Mexico And Know I Have My Own Barber Shop, Thanks To My Parents Who Supported Me All The Way From Cali🙏🏼
I was 2 years old when when when I was brought to the United States and honestly I didn't think like that like being born in Mexico was the furthest thing from my mind tell me I'm from over the U.S. I never became a US citizen I was at 35 year resident same laws don't apply so any one who not a United States citizen and you're smoking weed or a little bit of anything else you can lose your status fuck suck. the only person I had in Mexico was my brother was one years old he he was brought to the US but he deported 10 years before me about 3 years ago he went missing I tried to do everything I could to try to find him to add insult to injury I was advised to stop. Or else. 😢
As an immigrant myself, we all know very well if you’re NOT a citizen one day your luck will run out specially if you commit crimes. This people never hear about saving money when the day comes?
Having lived in the US since I was 4 years old until i was 22. Never went to Mexico in that time. I was removed from the US under voluntary departure. There seem to be a lot of ignorant people commenting on both sides of the scope. Its been 12 years since I came back to Mexico with my broken Spanish. Mexico is what you make it. If you live your life dreaming and needing to go back to the US you are in for a hard time here. For those that just came back, or will be coming back in the future by their choice or not. Do something with your life. Finish school. With the level of English most people come back with they can find a decent job. Add a higher education to that like a degree Mexico will be alright for you. I came back. Hated it but I picked my ass up and finished school, I sought out higher education and now I live a pretty decent life here. "El perico donde sea es verde."
“El que es perico donde quiera es Verde..Y el que es tarugo donde quiera pierde” You are doing a great job..should be proud of what you have accomplished!!!
It’s a blessing in disguise. I’m a U.S. citizen of Mexican parents. Planning on moving to Mexico next year. Life in US is slavery,it’s more dangerous in some areas than Mexico believe it or not
@ it depends. My family has a house out in Guadalajara that just sits there. Gonna leave all the blue collar work behind. I deliver fuel and work 12 hour days but I notice everyone else works online and is living it up…gonna take that route.
@@jcsgrl359 oh yes, I agree. All of the Venezuela gangs have come here to the US. It’s very very dangerous. You can be raped or murdered in an instant. Mexico is much safer some of these people on this video you people are protected more than here in the United States, your places are nicer than our people they’re living on the streets
As a US citizen, I have thought about retiring to Mexico. The cost of living is better, healthcare is way cheaper and more accessible, and the US is getting ready to do a nosedive in 2025. I get what you are saying about working in the US. When I retired, I felt like I had been set free.
I was deported at age 18 back to Mexico after being working in the fields for 4 years . Married with a family in Mazatlan , life is very good here . We have food , a roof and good friends ... life is great here in Mexico ...
Unfortunately, unless you’re an American citizen, you’re not legally an American. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been in the US one year or 50 years. And if you’re being deported because you committed a crime, you don’t have have the same rights.
Absolutely you cannot be a criminal and live in the United States and I agree with that. I don’t like people being deported if they are a productive member of society.
My grandpa brought the whole family and my grandma to the U.S. illegally from Mexico when they were around 30 years old and my mom, aunts, and uncles were teenagers. All of them worked hard and never got in trouble with the law, they went to school and did their citizenship test and all of them passed even my grandma whom didn't know english. Now my whole family are U.S. citizens.
This happened to two of my employees. Shipped back to the Philippines, born there but left very early. Had no idea what to do. Lucky for me I hired them in my call center.
My mother said these days would come 35 years ago. She preached it so much that she had me preaching it to my friends growing up in the hood of San Diego. My mom completed her ESL classes and got her citizenship in 1990 I remember going to her ceremony. She always told me how proud she was of my achievements and now I tell her that I’m proud of how she took care of business because I have peace that she can’t be deported. So many people spent their years drinking and partying and not doing the leg work.
I've been here for 34years illigally. I married a US citizen and have a child. It's not easy as just fill out the paperwork, if it was, I would have been a citizen yesterday. Your mom is one of the lucky ones, others do the "leg work" and still get deported regardless
@@dihe1392That’s not luck, that’s her doing what she needed to do in a timely manner. You have also been here 34 years, so you were here well before 9/11. When did you start your citizenship process?
You don't know how Mexican people work we hustle and make money however we have to let me ask you some how did your white ass culture came over here huh how come you didn't learn the native American language how come you didn't learn that huh
She knows the language quite well. She applied for a job at a call center because she speaks a little English. Many Mexicans tend to stay in areas with large Mexican communities and don't often venture outside their comfort zones.
I love the older gentleman who feels Mexican and is adapting and being positive towards his situation, that's the best you can do. I commented you for that.
Blessed to all our brothers in arms that got deported. We used to adapt and overcome, to live a place where you’re not used to is hard but we never give up, we give it all to achieve our goals. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
If you're 18-25 years old speak decent English, in decent physical shape, and are motivated to honorably serve something greater than yourself, go to the US embassy and tell them you want to enlist in the US military for 4 years and make sure to tell them you want your citizenship started as soon as you take the oath and sign on the dotted line. I proudly did it and it'll stay that way forever. Case closed.
Man my step dad got deported! And he’s been away from us for 7 years already we really miss him and need him back in our life’s! Still have contact with him but it’s just not the same without him! Stepping up to take care of me and my brother 💯 always been a good dad!
My parents are from Mexico and came here legally and followed the rules so they would not get sent back. I have many acquaintances who are undocumented, and they have never randomly had a knock on the door from ICE for no reason. Most undocumented people don't get deported just because - there is always a reason. Our actions have consequences. You are here as an uninvited guest - just follow the rules and stay under the radar. Second, being here illegally IS breaking the law. There is nothing legal about that. Try that in any other country, and you'll go to jail.
Being here illegally is against the law?? WOW, thanks for that genius. It's common sense you dope, that's why there's a border. And what rules are you talking about? Unless you never leave your house, your always at risk. I know you want to sound smart, but your not my friend. Oh, and ICE doesn't need a reason to deport you. 🙄
I don’t believe that mother was deported out of the blue! She’s been here illegally for decades but has built a business, family & son in the U.S. military. They aren’t just going to knock down her door for no reason. I’ve had friends growing up where one of their parents, siblings or other family members were deported & none were just random deportations for being here illegally. Crimes were usually drug related but my friends mom was deported when she used another family members passport to fly back to Columbia to visit her daughter (who was deported 7 years prior) because she was having another baby. I had another friend whose uncle was deported for selling SS# & other identifications. I feel really bad for the family members left behind & I can understand their anger but if you’re aren’t a citizen, legally or unlawfully here, you can get deported for any reason.
They don't want to be together or else THEY WOULD. If one of us has to go, we all have to go, that's all there is to it. If we're gonna be miserable in separate countries, we might as well be miserable TOGETHER in the same country. Family is family, you stay together at ANY cost. No job nor house is worth being separated from your children or spouse. That's not love.
10:29 You didn’t just enter “without papers”, you entered illegally. As awful as I feel for this woman’s family, I also don’t believe she was just picked up for crossing the border illegally decades prior. Was she using someone else’s identification to work? That alone could get you deported.
As a Mexican-American, this broke my heart and made me cried for these human beings. It’s so sad that they’ve lived pretty much most of their lives in the US and get deported especially the veteran. Very heartbreaking documentary. I’m grateful to be in the US thanks to my parents 💝🙏🏽
My mother tried to help two people who were deported, we live in Tijuana. My mother found them jobs, she helped them process their documents so they could work. She rent them a room at home, So that they wouldn't live on the street. Everything was fine for a while, one of them left, hedidn't pay rent and he took things that didn't belong to him. The other lived there almost two years before he started using Drugs and trying to hurt my mom. I understand that not everyone is the same, many people are very good but others not so much. And there are people like my mother who try to help and in the end they end up Disappointed.
@@EbK_KJx17 I'm not trying to demonize them, I'm just explaining what happened. People often complain that they don't have opportunities in Mexico and when they do, they waste them.
My mom is the oldest of 6, her two youngest brothers were born in the US and eldest 4 were born in Mexico and raised in the US. The 3 middle children got citizenship when they were minors through my grandparents, who had also been naturalized. However, my mom was already over the age of 18 and unable to get citizenship through her parents. It took her over 40 years to finally get naturalized and it was the most emotional day of our lives. She could finally be free and we didn’t have to worry about her being ripped away from us. Those years that she was undocumented were the hardest of her life. She can finally feel comfortable.
It stood out to me how the guy went from saying how much he missed his wife, to cheesing all in a new ladies face at his new job. Meanwhile his wife is crying on the phone, professing her love and how she would give anything to be with him. If I was her and seen this…. I would’ve been embarrassed, feel betrayed and hurt. At this point I’m like let him be…. He’s probably for the streets
I have a couple of cousins who've been deported and living in Baja California for several years now. Initially it was very difficult, and they would have done anything to return, but once they accepted their new reality, they were able to adapt and eventually learned to make a decent living down there. They've both said they'd still love to come back to the U.S, BUT only to visit, not to live.
The worst part is that people, including some "criminals" from around the world, are entering the U.S. illegally through the Mexico border as if it’s effortless. They are impacting the economy and contributing to crime. Meanwhile, those who want to live here legally, have served in the U.S. military, follow the laws, and pay taxes are being forced to leave the country.
Buy, obey, consume, watch TV, follow orders, deny reality, turn in your neighbor, do social media, do not question authority, inform, marry, and reproduce.
i dont disagree but uh, Gaining citizenship isnt as simple as waiting 5-10 business days for a letter in the mail. Its a long ass process. Uneasonably long in far too many cases. a lot of cases. 11 years and more. Citizenship should be an immigrants first priority and if the government was actually concerned about it, dont you think they would do everythin g possible to make it quick and painless?? Either its not a problem, or they dont care. People can blame Biden, Trump, or whoever but this has been a porblem well before any current or recent administration.
This is my dad and my family's story... he was deported in 2008... nothing was ever the same.. our family remains fragmented, there's layers to this... grandma was devastated, my sister has no memories of her dad in the states, parents relationship never recovered... hes still there.. his connection with us is confined to the internet (chats and videos), he could not attend my college graduation and watched it online. The border not only defines geographical boundaries but it has also shaped and defined me... its a grief for a living person that not many people understand, that empty chair at la mesa stays there for years, dejando una huella imborable. Nothing about this path has been easy.
I'll never understand families who stay separated just to keep one foot in the USA. Mexico is never so bad that they can't take the family with them when they get deported.
I’m so sorry i gave birth alone in the hospital because my sons dad was taken at a checkpoint for 🪪 it’s devastating and the ice detainer was something u had not heard of being as an American 🇺🇸 so my question is did you guys get a lawyer?

@@NotTheExfacts and they are growing the peso and using resources for electricity ⚡️ better than usa 🇺🇸 i learn a lot from Tabasco my husband’s native land in 🇲🇽
@@NotTheEx what’s seen here and in many people’s lived experience including mine is 2 things: the majority of the family is already settled in the US including extended family, and the deportee is the only one in Mexico. So uprooting the entire family especially if they’re not geographically close to Mexico is not easy. 2. some of these cases involve the complex disease of alcoholism. Where folks lose their papers because of DUIs or substance related charges. My family in fact did try the “let’s live in Mex to keep our family approach”. My dad lost his citizenship due to alcoholism and unfortunately us living there with him didn’t make it go away either. He’s paying the ultimate price and I wish I could say 16 years later he’s found sobriety but as u see with the men featured here. They drink to cope with the loneliness and separation.
These people love to play the victim but if you are just minding your business staying in line why would anyone bother you? Im sure there are cases where really innocent people get picked for deportation too but the great majority have commited some kind of crime or misdemeanor, so don't feel too bad for them.
It's easy to blame people. I only imagine how terrible Mexico is for their parents to smuggle their own kids in. I pretty sure the parents wanted better for their own. But they messed up and back to where you were born.
@@kaisersv they loved them so much they failed to legalize them while living in the United States illegally .. the parents put them in that position. It’s their fault it’ll continue to be their fault because they bring them here illegally and they don’t legalize them nor themselves lol gmafb

😂😂😂 look at you, wouldn't have made anything out of your if you weren't deported or you're just lying. Didn't make it America, didn't make it in Mexico, here lying 🤥
I see a few of these deportados in small towns in Mexico. Most can’t even speak Spanish or Spanish broken Spanish. Most of them have criminal records in the USA. The reason a USA resident green card holder gets deported is that they didn’t apply for citizenship or they didn’t think they could be sent back to their country of birth. It’s all in the small print when you get your green card. It means that you can be sent back if you commit a felony. Many people I know that have a green card but don’t apply for citizenship is because they have committed a crime or dwi . When you apply for citizenship you have to get a background check, pass a test, get interviewed by immigration and go to the ceremony. Some people can’t afford to pay the fee. Some people can’t pass the English language test.
It’s interesting how so many Hispanic people specially teenagers wave that Mexican flag around and older people always complain about tha united state of America but when people get deported it hits different. Let that be a lesson to all specially those with green . Behave….
As a Mexican myself, I always say the same thing, they are always waving the Mexican flag there but they dont want nothing to do with the real Mexico, all they do is brag about how great they are there in the US.
I have a 75 year old friend who came to US at the age of 30. He married an American, worked all his life and was retired and drawing SS. He got busted with weed, spent some time in jail and then was deported to Mexico with nothing but the jumpsuit he was wearing in the ICE detention center. He's old alone and sick. I know there are people out there who would say that's what he gets and I have to just shake my head. He was a good husband and father, he paid into the system many years and in his case I don't see the fairness.
@@jennymcdonough2095 Still not an excuse. Most Asian parents work hard and still secure their own and their kids' legal status. Life is tough for all. Also, if he has been contributing to his own legit SS, he can still get his SS checks in Mexico.
@@korsakoff76 You CAN NOT draw ss if you are not a citizen of the US. They dump a sick old man in the heart of Mexico after 45 years of residency with nothing but the clothes on his back and if you don't have a problem with that there is something wrong with YOU.
@@jennymcdonough2095 My mom was an immigrant and got her citizenship and did it legally. It didn't take her 45 years. She did it in about 10 years after coming here. My mom worked and had two jobs, working a job and taking care of a home and child are two jobs. There is no excuse... they thought they could be lazy and live here forever as a foreigner with no legal standing... those days are over.
I was an immigrant. If you're illegal you're illegal which means can and should be deported no matter if you grew up in the US all your life unless you become a permanent resident via US citizen marriage, etc.
Thats not how it works for mexicans though, the "american" illegally crossed into mexico and refused to learn the language. They ignored the law and invaded the country and decided to steal it what wasn't there's. I get if you're from the middle east, asia or some other part of the world. You should come legally here because you don't hold no ground on this land because you cant go back that far into the Nations History.
I don’t speak Spanish because I’m mixed and my mom is Russian and my dad is Mexican and Apache Native American. Some of us didn’t learn because of racism and assimilation to American culture.
I'm a white American, and I want to speak Spanish. I like the language. I speak some Spanish not very well. My own culture is not very supportive to learning a new language. I guess because it's difficult and they are afraid of looking stupid for trying. It can be uncomfortable. I'm also well traveled. I've been to foreign countries and struggled with language. It gives you a different perspective. Americans should travel more and maybe learn something.
So, according to your thinking, if you break the law for so many years in a country that it’s not your country, you expect authorities to look the other way and not enforce the law, only because you can’t understand that the laws are made to enforce them?…how that works?
Both countries have good and bad things. I’m Mexican-American and after 10 years to live in US I decided to back to México with my gringa family. Now is time to live the Mexican dream. So come on guys México is also a great country to have a good life quality of yo do the right things😊😊
I grew up in Chicago all my life from age 1-24 when I was deported. I am now 33 and was able to buy some land and build my own home here near the Laguna of Chapala en Jalisco MX. It's a beautiful country. I wish I had been deported sooner😂
What do you like the most over living in Chicago? I grew up in that area too. Long cold miserable winters, I will never live that north again if I can help it. And IL is stupid expensive just to have place to live. Is it easier down there? God bless
Sad situation for them but the law has been in place for decades if you’re convicted of a felony you’re getting deported after you complete your sentence‼️💯
If these people lived in the United States for OVER 30 yrs Illegally, then there is Absolutely Zero excuse for them not to have gone through the proper legal process to become a naturalized citizen. We are a country of immigrants and always will be. There will also always be a process to become an American. If they can't be bothered to go through the naturalization process within a 30 yrs period, I have zero sympathy
This is what happens when you break the law. The children have to suffer because their parents decided to break the law. It may seem like a dream. But can’t live somewhere illegal for years and not face consequences. I feel bad but every country has laws, his parents put that on him to bare.
This is sad all of my tios got deported to tijuana they were raised in L.A once they got deported they fell in to depression it was so hard kn them they became alcoholics and got into drugs there dead now😢 i miss them so much 😢.. to everyone deported please keep ur head up dknt trust no one and dont take drugs God Bless u all
The rent for a good apartment in Mexico is like 2k pesos, which is like 100 dollars. They can easily get their mom one. I bet they spend more money on McDonald's per month.
One never appreciates what they have, until they lose it. I see & hear so many Mexicans in my community with their allegiance & love for Mexico 🇲🇽 and badmouth the U.S. like it’s a piece of garbage. I guess being banned from entry fixes that on the spot. I love America 🇺🇸 I love being an American 🇺🇸 I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the world. People should unite and fight for their own countries. You would think that, if so many people are fleeing to the U. S., that their own governments would want to replicate what the United States 🇺🇸 is doing, but they don’t.

When I graduated from college, I had the chance to stay and work in the US with an H1B, but I decided to go back to my home country, best decision so far. At first I felt bad because I loved being in the US during college, I had a girlfriend who's a US citizen. I could have married her long ago and become a citizen but I decided not to because I didn't want to live in the States, so I don't regret that I forfeited the opportunity to stay. I think I have a better life right now, than the one I could have had, if I stayed in the States.
I guess the lesson is, if you come here illegally, you don’t have any rights as a citizen of the United States. It doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been here, if it isn’t legal, you shouldn’t assume you can stay.
I 've lived here in USA. For 24 yrs illegally. i was brought here when i was 14 since then i have tried to be a good citizen i went to school i have been working 2 jobs and paying taxes for 24 yrs. My brother who is a US citizen filed a petition for me to become legal resident and i was told i had to wait 25 yrs for immigration to revise my case. I will be over 50 yrs old when they get to my case. Immigration laws need to be readjusted.
Americans don't realize that Mexico in many ways is better overall than the US. Everyone acts as if it is some type of curse to be sent to Mexico, but in fact, it is a blessing.
Can you be more specific instead of vague? I am sure you can point out things that are better but let’s be honest, majority of folks if given the choice would definitely stay in the US.
I worked for an immigration attorney for almost a year, when I lived in the RGV in South Texas, the amount of people getting deported because they did something stupid was very high. Lots of them weren't born here and committed a crime that was the impediment for them to fix their status, USCIS is tough with people with criminal records even if they served for our military.
I'm totally against deporting a Vietnam veteran with an addiction to drugs, that committed a non-violent crime!! Their sacrifice and service warrants expanded consideration.
Same. Combat vets usually come back from war as a different person. Drugs & alcohol are used to help their PTSD from the battlefield, which usually ends badly. These are US soldiers that fought for this country but if they commit a crime, they need to punished but definitely not deported!!
it's the media it same with UK it's made out to be the end of the rainbow where the streets are paved with gold. They are on the contrary not and it's tough to live in UK unless you are earning at least £50-60,000 per year and that's for a single person with no dependents.
Because the place is beautiful but people can be evil, there's this thing call classists, preference over social status, workers treated like crap even by U.S companies that have installed themselves here for cheap labor, made to work 6 days a week 9hrs a day, Sundays through Saturdays, and the day workers mondays through Saturdays, sometimes made to work 20 hrs straight if they tell you to do overtime. We have laws but there's no justice, there is corruption. Sad thing is it can't change because people are afraid to speak up, feel over power. Aside average salary compared to rent is crap, monthly rent is $10,000 when average salary is $4,800 a month, at the most $10,000 if have a higher education. Basic education is expensive regardless of it been public. Etc. etc. It's changing slowly thanks to certain programs but there's still so much injustices, it's like we have rules and laws only as decorations and they try to gaslight or set a group against one when speak up. One is only lucky if one is middle class, rich or a foreigner. Though do have to say at the least I'ved never heard gun shots.
I promise you’ll hate Mexico 6 months in, then you could get used to it. 2 months in you’ll love it. When nothing important is in the U.S… it’s fine but when your life was here… it suck’s
@@trueredking7531if they are Canadians or French living in the USA illegally, yes. It’s not about where someone is from, it’s about how they act when they are guests in a country that did not invite them.
I cannot imagine being born in a country where, it appears, that you are surrounded by everyone longing to be a part of another country. That sounds miserable.
One thing I notice in the video is the fact people illegally cross a border and remain in the USA 10 or more years and refuse to learn english. So not only is it illegal and disrespectful of the country, it;s laws and it's citizens to enter illegally. But not taking down that language barrier to make it easier on theirslf and the people around them only makes it worse. OR to not put their children in a adult position to be a translator for their parents or family. Most don't consider how abusive that is to children. Many things should not be discussed with a child let alone discussed and expected to translate it also. THAT IS CHILD ABUSE PERIOD. I truly feel bad for allot of already in country law abiding illegal aliens. HOWEVER they should be accountable to follow the law, just the same as if I were to illegally cross into Mexico or another country. I would likely be arrested probably tried and sentenced and then deported. Or if I break a law in the country I am tried and held accountable. There is absolutely no reason to enter illegally. If you want to be mad at someone for it being difficult to legally immigrate. Then blame those who enter illegally for this issue. If you want to be angry that it takes a long process. Then be angry that so many millions are trying to do the same thing and it is completely overwhelming going through every single persons application. Our president has a responsibility to uphold our laws and to enact and act for what is in the best interest of our nation. It isn't about hatred or a dislike for other cultures. It about our laws. Even if you have been illegal for 30 years, you should be deported and then given the oppritunity to apply for legal status. Now I do believe we need to make a way for that process to be easier. But go through the naturalizationn process which also requires learning english and U.S. History and our laws.
This lady that got deported has like 4 kids. An they have her living deep in Tijuana in a shithole. It cost $800 a month to rent a 1 bedroom apartment in a nice building in zona rio. I feel bad for her but at the same time WTH her kids need to do better.
The good thing is that the US government is strengthening the Mexican economy by deporting people with skills, especially people with some college education or a trade.
Life is good in mexico now back in the 80s it was bad mexico 🇲🇽 has a future now look for yours mexico is nice. Dont let no one paint a bad picture of a country thier not from experience it for your selfs first before prejudging it.
Falsified enlistment is a crime, he should have got 10yrs in the brig! No sympathy for persons disregarding US LAWS he took a spot from a REAL citizen...
There is no path for foreigners to directly obtain a US citizenship. They must first obtain a green card and hold it for 3-5 years being good permanent residents before getting eligible to apply for a citizenship. While holding a green card, the foreigner must be deported if he/she commits a felony or more serious crime. If these guys didn’t commit felony crime they could have become US citizens and would be still living here. That’s the deal they signed up for when they entered the US military but they broke the deal themselves.
Why do you always show older people, you show the worst places in TJ and then act like the USA is the problem. You break the law, you get what you get. Where are the younger deportee's? You are not telling the whole story.
He should have got 10yrs in military prison for falsified enlistment and taking a spot from a REAL Citizen... Deportation is not a crime, but he entered illegally then joined the country probably with a fake SSN#. No sympathy.
No americans politicians don't want that. And serving the military of another country is seen as treason. How would you feel if americans serve another country? They are seen as traitors. In my country you can only serve the military when you have the citizenship.
I dont understand why this video portrays this grim living in México. plenty of mexican emigrants, expats, and daily border commuters that tell the opposite. There is a reason this is the most crossed border in the world. This video just makes victims. Most immigrants legal or not, are proud they overcame adversity, not highlight victimhood. How about highlighting and recognising the ones that succeded after being deported or returning to Mexico and starting busineses. a couple advantages these people have are they are fluent in english and they have friends and family in the US.
Call center treat the employees bad, there a high turnover in America. This is why these jobs get sent overseas. It sucks, this is why i never shop on line!
This was very well done. I live in San Diego and go to TJ on a regular basis. I can do that because I also have the SENTRI card which helps cross very fast. This video just reminds me that there are many unfortunate people that I probably run into like in your video. I wish them the best.
I feel sad for them, and even more so for the children they took with them, but I mean what did you expect? You can’t enter a country illegally and expect to be granted citizenship. Still though if you’ve served you absolutely shouldn’t be deported.
This is breaking my heart to watch... Jesus Christ that scene with the lady talking to her grand babies on FaceTime got me in tears. I'm a naturalized citizen from the caribbean and I could not imagine my mom having to go back after all these years working, paying taxes and doing the right things. All I can do is pray that the US recognize and fix this.
@kedah2398 I don't understand people like you she broke the law, she knew it when she did it long ago. When you break the law you get separated from family that's just fact whether jailed or deported. People leave Mexico because they want a better life and we have decent lives in America because most people respect the law and they do not in Mexico because the country is corrupt.
@@hockeyplayersnetwork3307 What is there not to understand? Having empaty for a family in a hard situation legal or illegal? You and your kind yap, yap, yap listen you were fortunate to be born here weather you're poor or rich, they're tons of opportunity in this nation, why not live and let live? Pretty soon you're going to be dead, rotting in a box and all the laws and land you're fighting for you can't take with you.

Bet you wouldn't say that but you're the first to thump your Chinese made Trump bible bout thet law and the law... F outta here!
The US is doing the right thing by deporting people who entered the country illegally. We have laws and if you break them, you are subject to the punishment the court deems appropriate. Don't put yourself in that position in the first place. Apply for legal immigration, wait your turn, and come in when you are accepted, it's very simple, really. What's sad is that people make the choices that they do then suffer from them and blame others.
The dye is cast the minute someone decides to illegally enter a country. The US should go after employers who hire non-citizens and end birthright citizenship for children of people illegally in the country. Basically, end the incentives.

i was born in tj in 1987 but my grandparents brought me over to san diego when i was 1. i grew up in san diego but one day while crossing back to the usa on a sunday morning. my visa got taken away. i didnt understand why. i didnt do anything. i was 12 by then and i wasnt aware that my visa didnt allow me to live in the usa. me speaking english raised a red flag they questioned me and basically took my visa and sent me back to tj. i still remember that day. back in those days late 1990s it was easier to cross. just pretended to be asleep in the car and came right back. spent 5 years without papers in the usa. my grandma knew the situation so she studied in spanish and finally became a us citizen and they got me my citizenship. im 37 now still live here in chula vista. i have a family a job my own place. this is all i know. i cannot imagine being pulled away from everything. all i can say is that im blessed my grandma gave me this oppurtunity to live in this country and everyday i do my best to make her proud. 🇲🇽🇺🇸

This was a pretty good video. I am sympathetic to the vet and the older woman although we do not know their full story. How did the older woman get into the system? The fella who got the lipstick tattoo seems to realize he is not getting back legally. He will probably eventually try for the fence.
As someone who has travelled the world and eventually immigrated to another country, these people have nothing to cry about. In most countries, if you enter illegaly or overstay your visa, you don't simply get deported, you go to jail first then after your sentence is completed you get deported. The US is the easiest country to immigrate to, to get a green card all you have to do is enter legally with a passport, work and be willing to pay taxes, and you will eventually get citizenship. These people chose to enter illegally, or do dumb stuff, and then paid the price for it.
Only certain countries enter USA with a passport. For most countries south of the border, you need a VISA, and to work while visiting is a No, no... because you will also get deported and never returnignto the USA legally, unless it's a working VISA but even that most Mexicans that go work picking crops will never become USA Citizens.
They are showing the poorest part of Mexico, I’m from Guadalajara and that city is beautiful, a lot more modern than many big cities in the US, there are also many pretty towns like Guanajuato, Queretaro ..many more. Life in Mexico is different and although not what we are used to in some ways it can be better. Unfortunately that’s not the case when families are separated.
I’d like to live in an area of Mexico so damn rural the cartels won’t mess with you unless they REEEEAALLY go out of their way for no reason.

Please, with the ladies, neither one or her daughters cared enough to petition their mother’s residency? The minute they turned 18 they could have and the process would have taken 10 years but no one cared now they get upset because it’s not “fair”. Well yes it is fair because it’s the law, you had such a long time to get your papers together stop victimizing yourselves and complaining for something that is 100% your fault. The daughters look like they’re in their freaking 30. 🙄 The other guy, well they won’t deport you if you’re a citizen but it seems like he never followed through with his citizenship so he remained a resident and if with that you have to mess up so many times for they to finally to revoke your residency so again it’s a YOU problem. You’re given such a freaking opportunity for years and you mess it up, that’s being stupid. As soon as I could apply for my residency I did and I’m as soon as I could apply to my citizenship I did as well. And the entire time I worked hard and never once did anything that would jeopardize my residency and chances of becoming a citizen. Take accountability for your actions and stop being such a drama queen people. We were given such an opportunity to be in this country don’t waste it like clowns
No, thats not how US immigration law works though yours is a common misunderstanding. If their mother entered the US illegally she would have to go back to Mexico for 10 years FIRST and only then could her daughters petition for her to then come back legally as an immediate relitive of US citizens.

yeah i was never deported but a family member passed and left me some land so i went back to claim it, turns out cost of living is super cheap in mexico especially if you earn american dollars. since i work in IT i was able to find remote work and ive been living here since 2009 with no reap reason to ever go back.
keep in mind this, yes with a advanced degree in america you will make alot of money, *but* you will also loose alot of that in taxes, housing, food, transportation ect ect just general cost of living. now yes we have all those expenses here too but since i work for a company in germany doing IT work the europe is waaay more then the peso so i do more then well for myself here. if you speak english well and are going to go back to mexico trust me the locals know you got a leg up and they are mad about it.

Having lived in the US since I was 4 years old until i was 22. Never went to Mexico in that time. I was removed from the US under voluntary departure. There seem to be a lot of ignorant people commenting on both sides of the scope. Its been 12 years since I came back to Mexico with my broken Spanish. Mexico is what you make it. If you live your life dreaming and needing to go back to the US you are in for a hard time here. For those that just came back, or will be coming back in the future by their choice or not. Do something with your life. Finish school. With the level of English most people come back with they can find a decent job. Add a higher education to that like a degree Mexico will be alright for you. I came back. Hated it but I picked my ass up and finished school, I sought out higher education and now I live a pretty decent life here. "El perico donde sea es verde."
Exactly !!! take action instead of complaining. That's not going to solve your situation.

Unfortunately, unless you’re an American citizen, you’re not legally an American. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been in the US one year or 50 years. And if you’re being deported because you committed a crime, you don’t have have the same rights.
Absolutely you cannot be a criminal and live in the United States and I agree with that. I don’t like people being deported if they are a productive member of society.
My grandpa brought the whole family and my grandma to the U.S. illegally from Mexico when they were around 30 years old and my mom, aunts, and uncles were teenagers.

My mother said these days would come 35 years ago. She preached it so much that she had me preaching it to my friends growing up in the hood of San Diego.

She always told me how proud she was of my achievements and now I tell her that I’m proud of how she took care of business because I have peace that she can’t be deported. So many people spent their years drinking and partying and not doing the leg work.

My parents are from Mexico and came here legally and followed the rules so they would not get sent back. I have many acquaintances who are undocumented, and they have never randomly had a knock on the door from ICE for no reason. Most undocumented people don't get deported just because - there is always a reason. Our actions have consequences. You are here as an uninvited guest - just follow the rules and stay under the radar. Second, being here illegally IS breaking the law. There is nothing legal about that. Try that in any other country, and you'll go to jail.
Thank you!
You're right. Many illegal immigrants think they have rights to stay in The US, but not they were fault at begin.
Being here illegally is against the law?? WOW, thanks for that genius. It's common sense you dope, that's why there's a border. And what rules are you talking about? Unless you never leave your house, your always at risk. I know you want to sound smart, but your not my friend. Oh, and ICE doesn't need a reason to deport you. 🙄
Most of them came to the US as children, they had no other choice.
I don’t believe that mother was deported out of the blue! She’s been here illegally for decades but has built a business, family & son in the U.S. military. They aren’t just going to knock down her door for no reason.
I’ve had friends growing up where one of their parents, siblings or other family members were deported & none were just random deportations for being here illegally. Crimes were usually drug related but my friends mom was deported when she used another family members passport to fly back to Columbia to visit her daughter (who was deported 7 years prior) because she was having another baby. I had another friend whose uncle was deported for selling SS# & other identifications.
I feel really bad for the family members left behind & I can understand their anger but if you’re aren’t a citizen, legally or unlawfully here, you can get deported for any reason.
Nobody is gonna talk about how that ladies social security number was vocally said on the video for everyone too hear 😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

They don't want to be together or else THEY WOULD. If one of us has to go, we all have to go, that's all there is to it. If we're gonna be miserable in separate countries, we might as well be miserable TOGETHER in the same country. Family is family, you stay together at ANY cost. No job nor house is worth being separated from your children or spouse. That's not love.
10:29 You didn’t just enter “without papers”, you entered illegally. As awful as I feel for this woman’s family, I also don’t believe she was just picked up for crossing the border illegally decades prior. Was she using someone else’s identification to work? That alone could get you deported.

@@EbK_KJx17 I'm not trying to demonize them, I'm just explaining what happened. People often complain that they don't have opportunities in Mexico and when they do, they waste them.
My mom is the oldest of 6, her two youngest brothers were born in the US and eldest 4 were born in Mexico and raised in the US. The 3 middle children got citizenship when they were minors through my grandparents, who had also been naturalized. However, my mom was already over the age of 18 and unable to get citizenship through her parents. It took her over 40 years to finally get naturalized and it was the most emotional day of our lives. She could finally be free and we didn’t have to worry about her being ripped away from us. Those years that she was undocumented were the hardest of her life. She can finally feel comfortable.
It stood out to me how the guy went from saying how much he missed his wife, to cheesing all in a new ladies face at his new job. Meanwhile his wife is crying on the phone, professing her love and how she would give anything to be with him. If I was her and seen this…. I would’ve been embarrassed, feel betrayed and hurt. At this point I’m like let him be…. He’s probably for the streets
Exactly. He doesn't miss his wife. He just misses the intimacy. It doesn't have to come from the same person so he gushes at new women.
She can be with him…she can move.

Initially it was very difficult, and they would have done anything to return, but once they accepted their new reality, they were able to adapt and eventually learned to make a decent living down there. They've both said they'd still love to come back to the U.S, BUT only to visit, not to live.
The worst part is that people, including some "criminals" from around the world, are entering the U.S. illegally through the Mexico border as if it’s effortless. They are impacting the economy and contributing to crime. Meanwhile, those who want to live here legally, have served in the U.S. military, follow the laws, and pay taxes are being forced to leave the country.
Buy, obey, consume, watch TV, follow orders, deny reality, turn in your neighbor, do social media, do not question authority, inform, marry, and reproduce.
I been there 😵
I never gave up
Got my case vacated
And now im going back legally
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙏
GOd isnt blessing this Godless Nation. Hes done....His reach is further in Mexico.
Congratulations 🎉
Once you come to the USA with a green card your PRIORITY SHOULD BE GETTING YOUR CITIZENSHIP!!
i dont disagree but uh, Gaining citizenship isnt as simple as waiting 5-10 business days for a letter in the mail. Its a long ass process. Uneasonably long in far too many cases. a lot of cases. 11 years and more. Citizenship should be an immigrants first priority and if the government was actually concerned about it, dont you think they would do everythin g possible to make it quick and painless?? Either its not a problem, or they dont care. People can blame Biden, Trump, or whoever but this has been a porblem well before any current or recent administration.
Very true because if you get a DUI or go to jail they will take it away and deported your ass.
Real easy for you to say. TRY PUTTING YOURSELF IN PEOPLE SHOES.
How about just don’t commit any crimes while here on a visa?? Or any crimes for that matter?
This is my dad and my family's story... he was deported in 2008... nothing was ever the same.. our family remains fragmented, there's layers to this... grandma was devastated, my sister has no memories of her dad in the states, parents relationship never recovered... hes still there.. his connection with us is confined to the internet (chats and videos), he could not attend my college graduation and watched it online. The border not only defines geographical boundaries but it has also shaped and defined me... its a grief for a living person that not many people understand, that empty chair at la mesa stays there for years, dejando una huella imborable. Nothing about this path has been easy.
My father was deported in 2013. I feel your pain it's a wound that never heals.
I'll never understand families who stay separated just to keep one foot in the USA. Mexico is never so bad that they can't take the family with them when they get deported.
I’m so sorry i gave birth alone in the hospital because my sons dad was taken at a checkpoint for 🪪 it’s devastating and the ice detainer was something u had not heard of being as an American 🇺🇸 so my question is did you guys get a lawyer?

@@NotTheEx what’s seen here and in many people’s lived experience including mine is 2 things: the majority of the family is already settled in the US including extended family, and the deportee is the only one in Mexico. So uprooting the entire family especially if they’re not geographically close to Mexico is not easy. 2. some of these cases involve the complex disease of alcoholism. Where folks lose their papers because of DUIs or substance related charges. My family in fact did try the “let’s live in Mex to keep our family approach”. My dad lost his citizenship due to alcoholism and unfortunately us living there with him didn’t make it go away either. He’s paying the ultimate price and I wish I could say 16 years later he’s found sobriety but as u see with the men featured here. They drink to cope with the loneliness and separation.
I came back to Mexico after 10 years living in USA, now I have a good job, a family, my own house, retirement plan, Infonavit, so don’t be afraid
These people love to play the victim but if you are just minding your business staying in line why would anyone bother you? Im sure there are cases where really innocent people get picked for deportation too but the great majority have commited some kind of crime or misdemeanor, so don't feel too bad for them.
A lot of these people come here as children because their parents bring them here illegally. I blame the parents.
It's easy to blame people. I only imagine how terrible Mexico is for their parents to smuggle their own kids in. I pretty sure the parents wanted better for their own. But they messed up and back to where you were born.

Ask the Guatemalans about Mexico’s “open arms.” Mexico is very harsh about their immigration enforcement, especially in regard to Central Americans.
I see a few of these deportados in small towns in Mexico. Most can’t even speak Spanish or Spanish broken Spanish. Most of them have criminal records in the USA. The reason a USA resident green card holder gets deported is that they didn’t apply for citizenship or they didn’t think they could be sent back to their country of birth. It’s all in the small print when you get your green card. It means that you can be sent back if you commit a felony. Many people I know that have a green card but don’t apply for citizenship is because they have committed a crime or dwi . When you apply for citizenship you have to get a background check, pass a test, get interviewed by immigration and go to the ceremony. Some people can’t afford to pay the fee. Some people can’t pass the English language test.
All of those things are their problems . They want to have their cake and eat it too

Do you say the same thing when other nations waive their flag in America?
*especially
They don’t get food stamps and a free check in Mexico .
As a Mexican myself, I always say the same thing, they are always waving the Mexican flag there but they dont want nothing to do with the real Mexico, all they do is brag about how great they are there in the US.
A green card isn’t citizenship, and most folks don’t realize that. So they mess up, and they’re back.
I have a 75 year old friend who came to US at the age of 30. He married an American, worked all his life and was retired and drawing SS. He got busted with weed, spent some time in jail and then was deported to Mexico with nothing but the jumpsuit he was wearing in the ICE detention center. He's old alone and sick. I know there are people out there who would say that's what he gets and I have to just shake my head. He was a good husband and father, he paid into the system many years and in his case I don't see the fairness.
He was here 45 years... why didn't he get his citizenship during clinton or obama administration?
@@kd5inm I have no idea. I do know he was working 2 jobs and taking care of his family.
@@jennymcdonough2095 Still not an excuse. Most Asian parents work hard and still secure their own and their kids' legal status. Life is tough for all. Also, if he has been contributing to his own legit SS, he can still get his SS checks in Mexico.
@@korsakoff76 You CAN NOT draw ss if you are not a citizen of the US. They dump a sick old man in the heart of Mexico after 45 years of residency with nothing but the clothes on his back and if you don't have a problem with that there is something wrong with YOU.
@@jennymcdonough2095 My mom was an immigrant and got her citizenship and did it legally. It didn't take her 45 years. She did it in about 10 years after coming here. My mom worked and had two jobs, working a job and taking care of a home and child are two jobs. There is no excuse... they thought they could be lazy and live here forever as a foreigner with no legal standing... those days are over.
I was an immigrant. If you're illegal you're illegal which means can and should be deported no matter if you grew up in the US all your life unless you become a permanent resident via US citizen marriage, etc.
Thats not how it works for mexicans though, the "american" illegally crossed into mexico and refused to learn the language. They ignored the law and invaded the country and decided to steal it what wasn't there's. I get if you're from the middle east, asia or some other part of the world. You should come legally here because you don't hold no ground on this land because you cant go back that far into the Nations History.
🎯💪👍
I don’t speak Spanish because I’m mixed and my mom is Russian and my dad is Mexican and Apache Native American. Some of us didn’t learn because of racism and assimilation to American culture.
I'm a white American, and I want to speak Spanish. I like the language. I speak some Spanish not very well.
My own culture is not very supportive to learning a new language. I guess because it's difficult and they are afraid of looking stupid for trying. It can be uncomfortable.
I'm also well traveled. I've been to foreign countries and struggled with language. It gives you a different perspective. Americans should travel more and maybe learn something.
So, according to your thinking, if you break the law for so many years in a country that it’s not your country, you expect authorities to look the other way and not enforce the law, only because you can’t understand that the laws are made to enforce them?…how that works?
That's how democrats teach them to think as long as you don't get caught you can get away with being here illegally.
Both countries have good and bad things. I’m Mexican-American and after 10 years to live in US I decided to back to México with my gringa family. Now is time to live the Mexican dream. So come on guys México is also a great country to have a good life quality of yo do the right things😊😊

When I graduated from college, I had the chance to stay and work in the US with an H1B, but I decided to go back to my home country, best decision so far. At first I felt bad because I loved being in the US during college, I had a girlfriend who's a US citizen. I could have married her long ago and become a citizen but I decided not to because I didn't want to live in the States, so I don't regret that I forfeited the opportunity to stay.

I worked for an immigration attorney for almost a year, when I lived in the RGV in South Texas, the amount of people getting deported because they did something stupid was very high. Lots of them weren't born here and committed a crime that was the impediment for them to fix their status, USCIS is tough with people with criminal records even if they served for our military.
Although I feel for these folks, the fact of the matter is that if they had entered the United States legally they wouldn't be in this situation.
I'm totally against deporting a Vietnam veteran with an addiction to drugs, that committed a non-violent crime!! Their sacrifice and service warrants expanded consideration.

Same. Combat vets usually come back from war as a different person. Drugs & alcohol are used to help their PTSD from the battlefield, which usually ends badly. These are US soldiers that fought for this country but if they commit a crime, they need to punished but definitely not deported!!
Why do they make Mexico feel like the worst place wen it's beautiful
5 month old bot.
it's the media it same with UK it's made out to be the end of the rainbow where the streets are paved with gold. They are on the contrary not and it's tough to live in UK unless you are earning at least £50-60,000 per year and that's for a single person with no dependents.
Because the place is beautiful but people can be evil, there's this thing call classists, preference over social status, workers treated like crap even by U.S companies that have installed themselves here for cheap labor, made to work 6 days a week 9hrs a day, Sundays through Saturdays, and the day workers mondays through Saturdays, sometimes made to work 20 hrs straight if they tell you to do overtime. We have laws but there's no justice, there is corruption. Sad thing is it can't change because people are afraid to speak up, feel over power. Aside average salary compared to rent is crap, monthly rent is $10,000 when average salary is $4,800 a month, at the most $10,000 if have a higher education. Basic education is expensive regardless of it been public. Etc. etc. It's changing slowly thanks to certain programs but there's still so much injustices, it's like we have rules and laws only as decorations and they try to gaslight or set a group against one when speak up. One is only lucky if one is middle class, rich or a foreigner. Though do have to say at the least I'ved never heard gun shots.

One thing I notice in the video is the fact people illegally cross a border and remain in the USA 10 or more years and refuse to learn english. So not only is it illegal and disrespectful of the country, it;s laws and it's citizens to enter illegally. But not taking down that language barrier to make it easier on theirslf and the people around them only makes it worse. OR to not put their children in a adult position to be a translator for their parents or family. Most don't consider how abusive that is to children. Many things should not be discussed with a child let alone discussed and expected to translate it also. THAT IS CHILD ABUSE PERIOD. I truly feel bad for allot of already in country law abiding illegal aliens. HOWEVER they should be accountable to follow the law, just the same as if I were to illegally cross into Mexico or another country. I would likely be arrested probably tried and sentenced and then deported. Or if I break a law in the country I am tried and held accountable. There is absolutely no reason to enter illegally. If you want to be mad at someone for it being difficult to legally immigrate. Then blame those who enter illegally for this issue. If you want to be angry that it takes a long process. Then be angry that so many millions are trying to do the same thing and it is completely overwhelming going through every single persons application. Our president has a responsibility to uphold our laws and to enact and act for what is in the best interest of our nation. It isn't about hatred or a dislike for other cultures. It about our laws. Even if you have been illegal for 30 years, you should be deported and then given the oppritunity to apply for legal status. Now I do believe we need to make a way for that process to be easier. But go through the naturalizationn process which also requires learning english and U.S. History and our laws.

There is no path for foreigners to directly obtain a US citizenship. They must first obtain a green card and hold it for 3-5 years being good permanent residents before getting eligible to apply for a citizenship. While holding a green card, the foreigner must be deported if he/she commits a felony or more serious crime. If these guys didn’t commit felony crime they could have become US citizens and would be still living here. That’s the deal they signed up for when they entered the US military but they broke the deal themselves.

I dont understand why this video portrays this grim living in México. plenty of mexican emigrants, expats, and daily border commuters that tell the opposite. There is a reason this is the most crossed border in the world. This video just makes victims. Most immigrants legal or not, are proud they overcame adversity, not highlight victimhood. How about highlighting and recognising the ones that succeded after being deported or returning to Mexico and starting busineses. a couple advantages these people have are they are fluent in english and they have friends and family in the US.

The US is doing the right thing by deporting people who entered the country illegally. We have laws and if you break them, you are subject to the punishment the court deems appropriate. Don't put yourself in that position in the first place. Apply for legal immigration, wait your turn, and come in when you are accepted, it's very simple, really. What's sad is that people make the choices that they do then suffer from them and blame others.

i was born in tj in 1987 but my grandparents brought me over to san diego when i was 1. i grew up in san diego but one day while crossing back to the usa on a sunday morning. my visa got taken away. i didnt understand why. i didnt do anything. i was 12 by then and i wasnt aware that my visa didnt allow me to live in the usa. me speaking english raised a red flag they questioned me and basically took my visa and sent me back to tj. i still remember that day. back in those days late 1990s it was easier to cross. just pretended to be asleep in the car and came right back. spent 5 years without papers in the usa. my grandma knew the situation so she studied in spanish and finally became a us citizen and they got me my citizenship. im 37 now still live here in chula vista. i have a family a job my own place. this is all i know. i cannot imagine being pulled away from everything. all i can say is that im blessed my grandma gave me this oppurtunity to live in this country and everyday i do my best to make her proud. 🇲🇽🇺🇸
I got deported 10 years ago. I now own my own home, I also have a real I.D. I love my life and now I hope to get my passport to go visit my hometown.
Why would you need your passport to visit your home town??? If you're in Mexico, you can travel with just your ID. Animo.
👊🏽
@@Lggc2726 my family moved to the US when I was 3 years old I was practically raised in a small town in Arizona. So when I said home town I was referring to where I was raised. No I was not born in Arizona, so would need my passport to visit, which I'm in the process of getting now

@@FatBoy55294 ahhhhh ok ok, you mean a USA Visa, best of luck to you, visiting other contries with your Mexcian pasport will give you a better opportunity and money in the bank with a credit card.
@@FatBoy55294 ahhh ok, got confused as you said passport you need a VISA to enter the US.
One thing that was wrong was not doing what you needed to do in America
This was a pretty good video. I am sympathetic to the vet and the older woman although we do not know their full story. How did the older woman get into the system? The fella who got the lipstick tattoo seems to realize he is not getting back legally. He will probably eventually try for the fence.
As someone who has travelled the world and eventually immigrated to another country, these people have nothing to cry about. In most countries, if you enter illegaly or overstay your visa, you don't simply get deported, you go to jail first then after your sentence is completed you get deported. The US is the easiest country to immigrate to, to get a green card all you have to do is enter legally with a passport, work and be willing to pay taxes, and you will eventually get citizenship. These people chose to enter illegally, or do dumb stuff, and then paid the price for it.
Only certain countries enter USA with a passport. For most countries south of the border, you need a VISA, and to work while visiting is a No, no... because you will also get deported and never returnignto the USA legally, unless it's a working VISA but even that most Mexicans that go work picking crops will never become USA Citizens.
They are showing the poorest part of Mexico, I’m from Guadalajara and that city is beautiful, a lot more modern than many big cities in the US, there are also many pretty towns like Guanajuato, Queretaro ..many more. Life in Mexico is different and although not what we are used to in
some ways it can be better. Unfortunately that’s not the case when families are separated.
I’d like to live in an area of Mexico so damn rural the cartels won’t mess with you unless they REEEEAALLY go out of their way for no reason. Probably not permanently though, I feel like it would get boring and pretty agonizing not knowing if my white ass is going to get robbed 😂 I’d glow walking through the streets of Mexico.
@@User_1dashzeroMexico has many white Mexicans actually and no they are not all wealthy. Parts of northern Mexico have a significant number of white Mexicans of very modest means actually.
Tijuana I beautiful too. It has lots of jobs.
There's life after deportation... The world will keep turning. Make the best of everything
4:39 y not blur out the lady ssn# that’s messed up
Dude Mexico is better then America US now soo why even worry gas is like 2.75 a gallon.. Tacos are cheap women are plenty why you crying LOL. But if you were a vet you should have access to the US without any F questions..Goes to show you the BS loyalty of this country...Its all BS
Mexico will never be better than America.
And yeah, I said America.
@@jeffalbillar7625 Indeed, Mexico will never be better than America if Mexico improves, America will sabotage it to avoid competition, and yeah, I said America
@@jeffalbillar7625 SouthWest is Mexico dummy Yes In America North Mexican land...and Native land...
Move there, then. 😊
@@mariananev-xk8tw Dont have to I have property in Mexico now too!!! Oh and multiple homes in the US. I can be everywhere ...Grabbing my balls I hold a piece of both sucker
Did they just share a SS number? That illegal.
omg
They shared most of it, but not all 9 digits
Please, with the ladies, neither one or her daughters cared enough to petition their mother’s residency? The minute they turned 18 they could have and the process would have taken 10 years but no one cared now they get upset because it’s not “fair”. Well yes it is fair because it’s the law, you had such a long time to get your papers together stop victimizing yourselves and complaining for something that is 100% your fault. The daughters look like they’re in their freaking 30. 🙄
The other guy, well they won’t deport you if you’re a citizen but it seems like he never followed through with his citizenship so he remained a resident and if with that you have to mess up so many times for they to finally to revoke your residency so again it’s a YOU problem.
You’re given such a freaking opportunity for years and you mess it up, that’s being stupid.
As soon as I could apply for my residency I did and I’m as soon as I could apply to my citizenship I did as well. And the entire time I worked hard and never once did anything that would jeopardize my residency and chances of becoming a citizen.
Take accountability for your actions and stop being such a drama queen people. We were given such an opportunity to be in this country don’t waste it like clowns
No, thats not how US immigration law works though yours is a common misunderstanding. If their mother entered the US illegally she would have to go back to Mexico for 10 years FIRST and only then could her daughters petition for her to then come back legally as an immediate relitive of US citizens.
