🇲🇽 Migrants at the US-Mexico border: Overcoming walls and prejudice
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.พ. 2019
- When the US government was partially shut down, migrants and asylum seekers along the Mexican border continued trying to enter the country.
Efforts by President Donald Trump to force the Democratic Party, which controls the House of Representatives, to fund a border wall had reached an impasse, meaning there was no agreement on a budget.
The government shutdown impacted the normal functioning of unrelated operations of the US government. The crisis also affected people in Mexico who live along the trail the migrants take to get from Central America to the United States.
And at the centre of the crisis were the migrants seeking a better future in the US. Some simply jump over the wall; others, especially men, seek the help of smugglers to cross the border.
Javier has smuggled people across the border for more than 25 years, since he was 14.
He says it's all "changed a lot (since he started smuggling). It first used to take us two to four hours. Then, the way became six to eight hours, and 10 years later, we needed 15 to 20 hours. Nowadays, it takes us 40 to 45 hours to cross the border."
Since Trump has deployed soldiers and helicopters and installed sensors along the border "it's more complicated. We now have to go around to stay away from the border patrol and it costs more."
However "there's always another way," says Javier, who believes that Trump's wall cannot stop people from crossing the border. It may be "very high. But we will overcome it."
Bibian is a Guatemalan migrant who has made her way to Mexico. She and her family suffered the damage caused by tropical storm Agatha, so she wanted to seek a better life for her family.
"I dreamed of going to the US because it seemed very easy," Bibian says. "That's why many people came along. I thought we could overcome the barriers and move forward without any problem. I didn't know what we would suffer."
She realised that "it's not going to be easy. There are a lot of racist people who say we're bringing diseases. There are also good people ... those who crossed as migrants and eventually became US citizens. They are supporting us."
"It's an adventure for me. It's not humiliating or below me. It really is an adventure."
But opposition against migrants does not just come from the American side of the border. In Tijuana, Alfredo, a restaurant owner and accountant, says he feels his town has been hijacked. But he also blames the Mexican government for not handling the situation in a better way.
"The very first day we had 500 people here, many of them asked me for power for their cellphones; many of them, children, they asked me for soda, for a pizza. I gladly gave them to them ... but was disappointed," he recalls. "People are afraid of Central American people because on Facebook a lot of people say that they are ... people that are coming to damage the society."
"We need to get our city back, because right now it feels like it's been kidnapped."
Hector from Honduras made the journey to the US as a teenager, but he "returned from America because I became an alcoholic and things didn't go well. I thought it was better to leave and return at another time ... Now that I am an adult, I want to return to the US," says Hector.
"My [pregnant] wife made it to the US. She wasn't hurt or injured."
Asked about anti-immigrant prejudice on the rise, Hector says: "We are migrant workers. If they could only see the place we came from they would understand."
"It's easy to conclude that migrants are criminals or that we come to pollute the place ... It's very tough what we've endured to get here, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing for us is getting to the US. It hurts, but what can we do against such stereotypes?
"There are some of us who may not behave well when they're in other countries. If I'm here in Mexico, I need to be good. And no matter where I go to, I will be good."

It's not racist to defend your country.
as long as the same rules apply to everyone, the wall will not stop the other 57% of illegals in this country from India,China,Canada and the U.K. and a few others.
Right .It is not a racist issue . It is a security issue .
@@mjc42701 THATS THE WHOLE POINT!!! ALL OF THEM NEED TO FIGHT FOR THEIR OWN DAMNED COUNRTY.
@@berthataylor2106 What's the point? 57% of illegals are not from Mexico and South America, I was stating the wall will not stop those 57% , my moms family is British and have been here since before the revolution, my dads family came over from Ireland after the Civil War, we all come from immigrants unless you are native American, the laws need to be fixed to make those coming by plane and boat or car from the north to immigrate legally, that's the point I was making. Also if you press cap locks again it will take it off.
mjc 427 I’m sorry but Sksksks 😂 ion totally agree with you but only a lil bit. But the that last part got me 💀
I don't remember Qatar taking in refugees. How many Syrian refugees did you take Qatar
Nor does Singapore, Saudi Arabia, uae, none of them!
Henry Townshed .... they love to make videos about this subject, and they seam to be on the side of the invaders.... I think they should not watch their videos and see if they change the way they see things at the Mexican borders.
Lap!! only
@@annieonymouse4467 isis made by usa 🤣🙊
you start the war
Mexico has offered asylum. Why keep coming . It is not the right of anyone to break laws
tip pullthemnow because they won in a fight that’s how world has always work the weak get conquered and the strong own the land
It is the right of the migrants to request asylum
@@tippullthemnow9839 We took it from them. That is how things were done back in those days. Not today! So get back. Stop using that excuse. It is so lame.
@@blizzyyt2281Yes J Squad Vlogs. We won the fight.
@@tommeade6461 ....It is up to the US to grant asylum based on our laws (made by congress). Anyone can ask for asylum, but they must show persecution because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group. Spousal abuse, gang violence, and economic reasons are not grounds for asylum.
Give them...NO WELFARE.....NO FOODSTAMPS.....NO JOBS....
SO WHY ARE THEY HERE?
STOP GIVING THEM A FREE LIFE STYLE.
@@Alfa7beta0 wtf
Precisely
I work in a hospital and they always come in to the emergency department for non emergencies like a headache they had for an hour, or a slight cough, etc... and come in at least 1 time a week. They bring the entire family they all check in, take up beds for people that actually have an emergency. THEN HAVE TO PAY NOTHING. THEY GET BENEFITS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY BECAUSE OF HAVING CHILDREN. if they had an emergency then by all means come in but coming in for things that are not an emergency can cause harm to Americans because they are taking up resources that are not necessary.
@@Dennym240 it's not only they're taking up bed space! The nurse's and Dr. time to evaluate the patient is extremely costly to America, and when you don't have the money to pay for a visit you go to the emergency room for everything! You don't spend too much money! In conclusion I have found most of them are looking for a place to stay and a hand out from the government !
If they can't then we can't. They are not animals and they are not all bad people. Rascist
I'm sorry but no welfare and no employment without documentation problem solved
Law breaking is not overcoming anything
NOSEY JOSIE'S SPOTLIGHT the usa needs to not overcome laws too and stop killing innocent life’s for oil right ?
REZX SXUNDS • and yet you still want to come to the usa, go somewhere else since we are so horrible.
Where do these poor migrants get thousands of dollars to get them across 🤷♂️
@@tippullthemnow9839 your wrong, WE WON THE WARS! AMERICANS MADE THIS LAND GREAT. ALL THE COUNTRY BELOW AMERICA ARE 3RD WORLD COUNTRYS. WHITE MADE THIS COUNTRY REMEMBER THAT
@@truthbetold2309 you don't know what you're talking about.
Wow .. what a hit piece on Americans .. Calling us racist because we want to have a secure border yet they don't want to be stereotyped ?? Admitting they want people on this side to change our government so they came storm our border . I work construction like many of them .. My trade has been devastated , wages have stagnated and plummeted . As a natural born citizen and construction worker .. I have seen the impact first hand . Granted , most of the hispanics I meet are good hard working guys. But come pay day .. There is a difference in how we all get paid .. American workers get a check with deductions and most illegals get an envelop of cash .. I don't blame them .. I blame those in Washington for allowing laws to be ignored . I blame the media that pumps out the narrative that anyone that wants a wall is racist .. I blame the talk show host that demonize people like me that struggle to keep food on my table . Yet they themselves live behind walls in gated communities , Surrounded by security . Being well paid and will never experience the impact it has on their livelihood. I blame the professors that indoctrinate students that have yet to taste the working world and are secured by their parent's trust funds ..
So right BUILD THE WALL

Your ancestors came here on a boat, Mexicans are INDIGENOUS
If you're not racist then exclude yourself from the comment
@@diasporaafortiori5180
Mexicans are NOT INDIGENOUS. They are a combination of WHITE EUROPEANS and indigenous peoples. That is why they speak Spanish which is a European language.
If you are running from your country because of exploration and oppression return to your Country and replace your government. We did that here in 1776.
Yeah, you might wanna thank the French before you mount your high horse
Also who's gonna provide funds to them to do that? They're migrants, not soldiers. Also, they left poor and broke, and if they're not provided the means to overthrow their oppressive government in their home countries, they would die poor and broke. Put yourself in their shoes.
Thank You D.P.!! You're preaching to the choir on that one...!!!! Hallelujah!!!!
@@michaeltheundeadmariachi4494 , we do provide funds YEARLY by the millions and billions!
Yes, we did.
Go home we the taxpayers don't want to pay for you while the streets are full of homeless American citizens who desperately need help and grandma who worked all her life does without!
But liz your ancesters were in the same position as these poor immigrants without a penny to their name when they arrived to North America😈😉

Give me money of the state!!!, give me work!!! change the president!!!!! give me a home place!!!! i have righst!!!!!!"
No one has right to force enter other country for any reason
Ur right also my sexy darling if u try to do the same with another country they will laugh at ur face
If they would be poor in their native country, that's nothing to be ashamed of.

@@janko4765 Do you know WHY Indians LOST theirs land in America ?? Because they did NOT build the WALL !!
what would Jesus do?
come in legally or not at all!!
Yes cause that's how America was built right?
Jenny and you need to go back to the Europe because that's where all you white wanna be Americans are from. 'Merica is home to the natives!
Jenny Stephens You too are an immigrate. To us Natives you are just another immigrate.
You America’s stole the U.S. tho
They should put a stop to the anchor babies from happening!!
Trump is suggesting that very thing, but of course the liberals and SJW's are countering with how it violates the constitution. The problem is poor people having kids in general. If they can't afford to take care of themselves and live comfortably, they shouldn't be able to have kids. The kids grow up poor and want to go where they be better off than their parents and that is usually the US.
Agreed
90% of yall are "anchor babies" otherwise the natives would be here flourishing. Instead they where all killed sounds pretty illegal to me.
Too late, anchor babies are going to swing the vote in years to come.
@@patrickclark3337 : I come from a European "socialist, liberal" country and we put an end to the anchor baby thing a long time ago. In fact no country in the European Union allows for anchor baby citizenship. It's not socialism or liberalism that's the problem, not enforcing your laws is the problem. As for your comment that the poor shouldn't be able to have kids, that's the stuff of Nazi's I'll have you know.
How come Arab countries do not accept migrants? And lecture us on prejudice?
Arab countries are the most prejudice and racists
true. and they talk about human rights. yet women have none. hypocrites.
Why should they, why should USA or any, we have enough
Entitled mentality. Liberal have created the "free for all" mentality.
IF VENEZUELAs PEOPLE CAN CHANGE AND FIGHT THEIR COUNTRY!
Sooo why can't these migrants do the same!?!
Because our government gives them free food, education, clothing, housing, health care.
If Canada had that same offer I might go there. Nah, I like working...
That's a point. Look how Germany and Japan rebuilt their countries after destruction from WW II.
Angello! R. Is it because they really love the way white people live? But yet they think they don’t need the white people. But that does not seem to be the truth. They really love white people and they want to be with them at any cost
@@robertmasina4610 The U.S. helped them rebuild and funded them but both countries have a work ethic and drive that propelled them.
@Angello! R. Ha ha! Good one. Not to worry now. President Trump has secured the Southern Border since march 2020.
New title: Respecting walls and boundaries and not falsely accusing people of prejudice because they don't want your lawbreaking
hamish themack Yes the white lefties have taught these brown freeloaders how to play the racsle card, its not working .
Don t be so afraid of being accused of anything, that is part of the problem.
... said the Native Indians fighting for full legal rights of ownership for their territories
I just posted something similar.
I'm seriously confused how Mexicans are considered immigrants but they're indigenous to North America and majority have more Native Indian than Spanish ancestry. ..
What AMAZES me is how these poor migrants get the money to pay these human smugglers!
$ 6000. 00 dollars per person to smugglers .
Family members my uncle helped my dad to pay so he could come back to the United States so he could be with my sister and mom I was so happy when he came back
They sell their assets or property or borrow from someone.
@@iloveallahtheonetruelordof6036 I smell a George Sorros in this. It is hard for a typical middle class American to get $6,000.00 thousand dollars to pay their bills let alone a poor migrant that has little or nothing to begin with. That is why these migrants are trying to come to the United States undocumented and illegally.
They can use that money to make business in their own country . may the Lord give them wisdom tof do better
ILLEGAL immigrants..legal migrants come here with the authority to migrate before showing up on our doorstep.
I don't get it.there's thousands of homeless peoples all across the United States.who are homeless and jobless.they all are on drugs.but want to help migrants
Yes the system is screwed up
I was born in Brooklyn New York my mother came here on a Visa in 1964 I was born in 68 what's going on with the border these people are good people they want to better themselves yes I am American love my flag all I know America is a country of Hope don't know what happened in the past few years this is a great country these people are in despair women children and young boys I do not know what the solution is but we have to help these people they are human just like us

yung Miami ... very poorly thought out comment you made..half the world wants a better safer life how many before our country is the same? Who gets the right to jump the line ahead of rest?
Citizen applications. Why do you think it's okay to just cast aside laws
We humans are sooo hipacrits we all bich about things but then when we do it itsbok
You think it's OK to cast aside laws like peace treatises that weren't kept by the usa
Because these laws are broken and allow allow the privileged in. The immigration process is near impossible.
"These are poor people" , yet they can afford to pay a guide $5000 to cross
Family members help them pay
Lee Hill, this people are not poor all they want is a wellfare state and to leave on other people's back, which are tax payers
girillaz, our points exactly this people are not poor, why cant they start up a bussinesses in their own country with that money
J'adore
@@daughterofzionjudah102 The cost of having large families is not cheap and yet they continue to have 8 plus children, then expect the US taxpayers to care for their large families.
I feel for these people but the amount of money they are paying the cartel makes me wonder if the money could be better spent some way some how.
Yes these people might be hardworking, but let me tell you, we already have enough American Citizens uneducated living in the US who does labor jobs, not to mention millions of illegal aliens included. Why to put strain on on those American citizens making their ends meet doing the same job. Not Fair.
Actually, they are not hardworking, anymore. Not in 3 decades.
Their "better life" is to come here, and head to welfare, first. Hardworking American taxpayers pay $159 billion a year on these mooches. Their only dream...to mooch, sleep all day, gamble & drink welfare money away, in Las Vegas & Laughlin, NV. Believe me, I've dealt blackjack to these fools. They come from Californication, and waste welfare money they receive for their kids, and gamble, lose it, get angry at us dealers.
Any illegal, who has not learned or speak English in 2 years of coming here, should be deported. And if they have ANY children within 2 years,..deport. Welfare moochers, is all they are. Mandatory sterilization, if any Mexican wants in.

You may not care, but the number of illegal immigrants that cross our northern border is rising. Because it’s seen as a safer option.
So a video about illegal immigrants narrated by someone who is obviously not from America. Trying to make us feel quilty.
Yeah I’m with you. I’m so tired of other countries especially Britain reporting on our boarder wall. It’s know of Britain’s business.

7:29 How are they racist though? They’re just unofficially enforcing a law that exist in their country. It’s has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, or your physical appearance. Only in America can’t a country enforce its laws without being labeled as racist of discriminatory. Many other countries aren’t politically correct as the United States is which is good.

And he sounds so proud of himself of breaking the law. Amazing how they keep thinking it is right to keep breaking the law.
I'm on 2 sides of the wall with this. It's easy for me to say this, considering that I was born and bred in the UK and we're surrounded by sea and ocean. I do sympathize with these migrants, I really do. They come from so many horrible, inhumane situations and I do believe the USA should have a fair and reasonably timed process when it comes to accepting migrants. But migrants can't illegally enter off the back of national security concerns. They have to go through the proper channels, it's never going to be as easy as just jumping the wall.
That was a reasonable, well informed, democratic, empathetic evaluation of the way things really are. Blessings to you.
Your reporter front loads her questions with the response she wants the migrant to articulate therefore making her 'interview' more of her personal political statement.
Why can't these ppl pay to get their immigration paperwork the legal way instead of paying thousands of dollars to be smogged into the country illegally....

Because it is not that easy. Majority would get rejected. Crossing illegally is their only option

They don't care about the human race. money money money is all they worry about. FACT
Who cares do it at home . You won't fight for your country just whine .
No. Just no. Stop bringing your families to a country that will not allow you entry. Accept Mexico's offer of asylum if you must leave your country.
If they would punish him instead of just deporting him that would help!!
Not prejudice but we certainly don’t like being invaded
Yet you invaded many years ago.
I don't understand why US should welcome them?!!!

It's like watching someone break into my house.
Build that wall already. No criminal would he honest and not all are criminals but we need that wall
“Any american can go down to the border detention facilities and ‘sponsor’ a family... place them in your ‘guest bedroom’ and feed / clothe them!?” (That would save the US taxpayer who doesn’t wish to pay for illegal invaders!)
The reporter makes “People smugglers” sound like really nice people.
Don’t forget they charge by the head to cross a person, $5,000. The cartels tax the crossings.
People climbing and falling over the side of the wall makes me kinda sick ,
Go Trump!!👍🌟🌟👍Build that wall!
Stop them from sending money back
Yes
All homeless peoples.are not on drugs.they want to help migrants.
What a joke all this is.
What a sick joke for most involved.
There are so many Mexicans who are obese, doesn’t look like they are poor.
Whatever happened to "Al Jazeera America?"
Beware the round up !!!
Accepting of immigrants is not a bad thing but the United States should be more selective and have a basic criteria like, are they skilled,do they speak english, are they willing to assimilate,do they have a rap sheet? And all this through the port of entry, all the wall climbers are disqualified.
Sandra this is exactly how it is in Australia we have a strict Merritt based system which is as it positively should be as Ann Sanders said does America really need another minority truck driver. I loved that.

It’s it prejudice. We have illegals of all nationalities living in the US supported by taxpayer dollars, flaunting how weak our security and our judiciary systems are. Come in the right way, less of a problem. Although VISAs should be the next things we look at. As well as liberal laws that worked in the 1800s but are obsolete today. It’s a lot to ask for.
Other countries like the Philippines have some kind of a caregiver program where women have to clean toilets for three years before they can apply for a citizenship. They can do the same thing.
"an adventure", quoted by a migrant. Good1.
They all speak and act like entitled children.
they ALL ? What a dope
Like you
Nobody in this crew starving.
Is it drugs they want from them or cheap labor.
Anyone can look pitiful for camera they need to go home
Maybe when the wall is built it will force going through the front door instead of sneaking in the back door. You know, legally.
Why does it say made in Hong Kong on that wall
I could care less if the same people come here, just enter legally
Wow...they sounded very honest and I think they are going to US for better life.....
Problem lies with Congress they're the ones behind all of this in the first place. If you do not believe Congress has ever underhanded the American people look at the act of 1871 all the blessings that has brought to Americans?
I was caught and deported delivering toys last Christmas🎅🎄 Sanchez Claus
what about AMERICAN dreamers
Nowhere in Mexico is safe.
The U.S embassy in Mexico is safe. Cartels are not allowed there.
This is heart breaking 😔😔😔
Indeed the west is under an invasion they have zero right to be in the west. They had nothing to do with creating the United States of America and the people who created that country have the right to deny them you people are awful
Its all so totally out of control. I makes our country look stupid and weak to allow this to continue. Thanks a lot Congresswoman Pelosi for (not) doing your job...
Fascinating interview with the smuggler. I wonder if by giving the interview he is shooting himself in the foot--it might help US Border Patrol to catch smugglers. I wonder how he gets back into Mexico. Maybe he goes through a port of entry; maybe he even has a passport?
This isn't some great piece of journalism or anything, but, sheesh, this comment section is the most drivel I've ever seen.
Very lucrative business for the cartel. That alone should cause Americans to think that this is not good for America or the people they are smuggling.
No sympathy. Come legally or do not come at all.
I wish they would learn English just like i did. Its my 2nd language. They come and never bother to learn the language. I work in the medical field the amount of people that dont even try to learn English is frustrating. They only want social benefits. Not one of these people in the video said anything about having fear for there life for the reason they came to the us. Ship them back. Its not fair to the people that came here the LEGAL way.
So True. When I live in other countries I learn the local language. When immigrants fail to learn the language they are vulnerable and employers from the same country exploit them. Plus they can't help their children in school.
It's not prejudice they need to wait and come in legally and they don't want to I don't know who these people think is going to take care of them. No welfare we have our homeless families here they come first. Trump will get another 4 years we cant keep allowing this even a Senator who is San Diego who is a Democrat is saying people are begging for a Wall this isn't going to end well.
Good luck brothers
If this smuggler is caught, life in prison no parole.
ALL OF THESE MIGRANTS - IN ALL OF THESE COUNTRIES //
STAY WHERE YOU ARE, N O N E OF YOU ARE WELCOME !!
We have this same problem at South Africa from Zimbabweans
I beg to differ. The Democratic Party was not in the majority during the US government partial shut down. And in fact, agreements were made several times between the president and Congress. He refused to sign each final bill (the next day) (with the same clauses as agreed upon by the president).
